Byron was a gentle soul being a loving husband for 51 years and loving father and grandfather.  Anyone that received a squeeze from him felt how much they were loved.

Every Spring as lobster season approached his excitement was evident and you could easily see his love for the ocean.  He could spend hours on the water taking in all its beauty.

He had a deep love for dogs and could never be without one.  The best is when he was coming off the water and his dog was there to meet him.

During celebrations his young spirit came through on his excitement of opening presents.  He loved spending time and being around family and friends.

He will be greatly missed by everyone that knew and loved him.
