In 1992 they moved to Cape May and never left.
He had a varied career, running his own business then working as an Atlantic City casino supervisor and finally working on the Cape May – Lewes ferry in his later years.
He and Joan delighted in having visitors to Cape May and since Grandpa was always up for anything visits were always a whirlwind of activity. We will miss him but we have decades of Cape May memories to cherish forever.
