He was the first umpire east of Montreal to ump at Williamsport, Pennsylvania. He had a great partner in crime for his 45 card games, friend Henry Young. Together they chuckled at their many wins. Many will miss watching him on the dance floor, with his grace he acquired several trophies throughout the years.
