I left Fairport in January 1976 when I joined the Air Force. I spent 4 years in the Air Force as was stationed in Texas, Mississippi, Philippines, and the Pentagon. I met and married my first wife when I was stationed at the Pentagon. When I left the Air Force, we moved to Pocatello, Idaho. Not finding much work in Idaho, I joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1980, shortly after my first Daughter, Michelle was born.
I met and married my current wife, Francoise, while stationed at Camp Pendleton, California. She is from a small village in north eastern France and we have enjoyed some nice vacations in Europe over the years. We were transferred to Albany, Georgia where our three children (Paulette, Johnny and Marie-Odile) were born. Shortly after Marie was born I was discharged due to lower back problems and spent about 4 months in Fairport looking for work.
I currently work for Hoffman Engineering in Stamford, Connecticut. We live in Danbury, which is a good commute from Stamford, but much more afforable and quieter town.
We have a small ranch home that is perfect now that the children have left the nest. I have put in a orchard on the small lot that we have and enjoy taking care of my garden and fruit trees.
My oldest daughter, Michelle, lives with her husband in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Paulette is married and lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. Johnny is attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, majoring in French. My baby, Marie-Odile, is a Broadway Carpenter in NYC and currently works building the Christmas window displays for Macys, Lord & Taylor, etc.
