He married and had three children, Claire Timothy and Victoria. His wife, Ruby, died six years ago. Joyously he married again last summer but cruelly was then struck down with Covid 19, just 8 months later. He died on Easter Saturday. He leaves behind his wife Marlyn, his three children and five grandchildren whom he adored.
