He was released and cancer free but was told he had Pulmonary Fibrosis. He lived very well with oxygen at night only but as time went on, he grew more dependent on oxygen and in 2021 he was in the hospital five times and made it home each time, but passed away at home on November 15th.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Gloria, his two Sons Jason and Marc, two Grandsons Eric and James. His Brothers Albert (Tamara), Neil (Joyce), and Sister Raenae (Rocky), and many nieces and nephews.
