In the twilight of his life, his cherished sweetheart of 62 years, Mary Carol, passed away. A short time later, it was a gift for him to unite with Marilyn Jones McPhie, a special friend from his youth. They were married on Valentine’s Day in 2019. They spent the last three years traveling, reading, spending time with family, and reminiscing.
