He was looking forward to the next forty to fifty years with his life's partner, Judy, and the five children they did such a wonderful job of raising together. He and Judy were looking forward to their 40th wedding anniversary later this month. He was very proud of his children and it showed on his face whenever he was surrounded by his family.
