He is further survived by his sister Joyce Hartmann (Dick). He was preceded in death by his stepfather Philip Whiting. Dick was an accomplished watchmaker who worked for Shallow Jewelers for more than 50 years. He shared his garden bounty with all his surrounding neighbors and would clean up snow for anyone.
