He was a guidance counselor and coached on many sports teams while at Williamsburg High school from 1990-2012 when he retired. He and his wife, Jan, live on an acreage in rural Ladora.

Sometime in the middle of the night between Monday, June 24 and Tuesday, June 25, vandals broke two of the globes on the lights around Lake Prior in the middle of Woonsocket. One of the light bulbs was removed from the globe. The city maintenance workers were able to piece the globes back together; however, the city can no longer get replacement globes for those lights, so this could have been a catastrophe and is not just a harmless prank. 

The Sanborn County Sheriff’s office is investigating the act and would like anyone who has any information about this to please call their office at 796-4511.
