He was a band director at various schools over the years and retired after 33 years.  Most of his time was spent at his alma mater, South Terrebonne High School. At STHS, his band accomplished many prestigious awards and trophies. He had a special way with his students, creating some of the most fascinating performances that led to many wins at festivals and competitions. When he wasn’t teaching music, he was playing his trombone. He played his trombone in the bands called South Avenue and Souled Out.  He loved spending time with his family and fishing with his dad. He loved to ride his motorbike with his wife, Vicky, and participate in poker runs.  He also enjoyed a good game of pool with his friends.
