The gregarious, linebacker-sized man with a larger than life personality, died at the Prince County Hospital on Monday surrounded by his family. He was 71 years of age.

He became a 27-year veteran with the Montague fire department (joining in 1975) and a member of the town team, with long-time friend Stephen Harper, Ken Campbell and Steve MacLean, that went 27-0 and won four straight P.E.I. firefighters’ championships from 1980 to 1983.
