Seeker, I know he had a place in ME, not sure if it was an Island. He founded the Downeaster Company in the 1960's which made weather instruments. He sold them at the family carpet business.
He lived in Sanbornton for many of his later years. I believe he just moved to a nursing home in Franklin the last couple days.

To think he was so good without all the technology currently in place now. At least he witnessed and got to experience the technology explosion in his field. But I would take his old fashion style and grace over some of current content we all are bombarded with on media today.
