I am a nice person that is honest, kind, sincere, and grateful person who is looking for someone that is kind and thoughtful to love again and be with. I am a volunteer for Hospice, I rescue Scottish Terriers dogs,and love to be of service when I can. Camping, hiking, 4 x 4, boating are just a few of my interests. I am an nice person,loves to cook, am a gentleman and love to treat my lady like a queen. I am presently retired since my wife's death and want to do some traveling both small day trips and nationally as well as internationally. I look the simple things in life but love a bit of grandeur once in a while. I am a widower from a 37 year marriage and after 3 years and think its time to be with someone for companionship. I do believe that it is friends first before marriage. I am here looking for just that, a friendship that can grow into a long term committed relationship rather than just looking for a friend. I am not against marriage in the future with the right person if it is wanted by both people.
I am a family person and love to do things with my 2 boys and my three grand kids. I have a very general taste in music from tenors to rock and roll and everything in between. I love to entertain with large dinners in the Holiday.

As I said, I love to please my date and would try to find out what is a great date to her and would be very open to when and where she would feel safe. I like to think that it would be a walk on the waterfront with Coffee at one of the coffee shops that are close. I believe in going slow and not expect to rush into anything. Lets find out what we have in common, whether there is a spark and of course, do we want to go to the next level of dating. It is very important for me to find the right person and would have as a goal friendship, Marriage or certainly a long term relationship.
