    I am sorry for your family’s loss. I want you to know how he rescued my parents once in 2003 or 4. I had arrived at their home to find dad doggedly struggling to remove the hot water tap that dripped ever since my childhood, eroding the sink enamel off the kitchen sink for more than 50 years….He was not mechanical, but inexplicably had decided to tackle this. Thank God he could not get it off as he had not shut off the hot water feed. I did that and called for help. When Mr. Briere finished, I told him about dad struggling to remove the tap with the water “on.” He pointed out that not only would have water gone every where but dad could have been burned badly,. I was so grateful for his help.

    May you rest in peace and be reunited with your lovely wife. I only knew you for a brief period of time. I remember your funny stories and “which cot” or “whatchamacallit”. You were a very devoted person to your family and church. I am sure you are smiling down at us.
