He was featured on an episode of Land and Sea and in 2002 he was inducted into the Atlantic Agricultural Hall of Fame, a major accomplishment in his life. His herd of Ayrshires brought many prestigious awards. These were his life’s work. He was loved by many and will be forever missed by his family and friends”.
