Dad is also survived by Shirley (Watters) Ketch, mother of their children. In 1948 Dad graduated, second in his class, from Aroostook High School. Dad worked 33 years for NBTel, retiring in 1991. In the early years, Dad loved to play golf, swim, fishing in Juniper, cook, play pool and cribbage. He was an excellent dancer and he and Mom were beautiful to watch.
