He and Linda had always wanted to have a quiet little piece of paradise and found it in Norton. There they set up the little hobby farm that they were both so passionate about. Animal lovers from the day they met they have close to sixty of love. He was a country boy at heart and the enjoyment that he got out of it is beyond words.
