He was caring, funny, hard working and was a dedicated outdoorsman. What a privilege to have known him. He will always be loved and in our hearts.
It is so sad to hear of a loss of such a young person, I didnt know him (I used to live in Quincy) when I saw his death in the newspaper, it made me so sad to see such a caring, loving person pass on so young.
