I have been married for 49 years to Alyce (Ericksen) THS’57 and we raised our four children in Tottenville.  All of our children are THS Alumni.  After 26 years on the NYC Fire Department, I retired and moved to the Poconos where we had been vacationing for many years.  After 10 years, we moved to Concordia, an active adult golf community in Monroe Township, New Jersey.  We have lived here on the 3^rd fairway, for 4 years now.  I enjoy golfing, participating in community activities and puttering around the house and yard.

I also enjoy our nine grandsons and our step-granddaughter, ages 25 years down to 5 years old.  Two of our four children with their families live here in New Jersey.  One family lives in Virginia and the other family is in Utah.  Our six youngest grandsons live here in New Jersey so we get to spend lots of time with them.  My grandchildren think I’m the oldest thing in the world and after an hour with them, I believe it, too.
