with M&H Engineering in Danvers.
He is survived by Linda Cole, a daughter, Carrie
(Cole) Cayer and her husband Shawn Cayer of Ipswich, a son, Dan T. Cole
and his wife Lynne of Georgia, and four grandchildren, Margaux and Dexter
Cayer and Morgan and Andrew Cole. He is also survived by three brothers,

sister, LuAnn (Cole) McKenney and husband Paul of Seabrook, NH,
brother-in-law, Russell F. Moore and wife Kathy of Topsfield, several
nieces and nephews, his long-time best friend and cribbage opponent Joseph
