Later, he became a heavy equipment operator which led to he and Audrey owning their own business. Following that, he spent a couple of decades employed by The Bermuda Mechanical Company in Devonshire. Although, retired at 65 he was still seen with a paint brush in hand or up on a roof, into his early 80’s.Aside from his family, his greatest passion in life was fishing and he was well respected amongst the Devonshire Bay community and beyond.
