email from grandson, Tom Fondy, Oct 2006: "He was a wonderfully gentle humble sweet man. He worked as a railroad crossing guard until the day he died. The railroad could not make him retire because they had written a settlement for him after some sort of accident and he opted for a job for life rather than for money. He was one very simple, humble and smart guy who knew what mattered in life."
