I finally found real love with my last wife and confidant. Times weren’t always easy but our love kept us strong. I was an under-educated factory worker and she was a teacher involved with the theatre. She helped me to become a better man through introduction to her family. fine arts, and continued education. She taught me to read after discovering I was dyslexic, while urging me to become a tradesman and to become involved in community service through Lions Clubs International. I’m an artist but also a General Contractor by occupation. I have been a Lion for 25 years and eventually rose to the position of District Governor. I cared for my last wife for 23 years and after her passing I came down with West Nile Virus which nearly killed me. While recuperating from the virus that left my mind scrambled and fighting to eventually walk again with a cane, my dear friend John and I decided I should write a book about my life to help my mind recover. A daunting task, we reached out to his 14 year old daughter, Isabelle, for help. She became impassioned about the book from the beginning and took on the role of Ghostwriter. I could not have done it without her. After giving up many weekends and quite a number of weeknights, holidays, and my setbacks in health, we finished the book three years later. Full of laughter and tears, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it.view less
