He worked for over 25 years in the aquaculture fishing industry where he was known to many as "Burl." After retiring in 2018 he could often be found at his camp fishing with his wife and family.

He cherished the simple things in life, he loved being outdoors, spending time in his gardens, going on hikes and having family cookouts on “Jones’s” beach.
