Family, fishing and golf
I have recently relocated to the Newton/Sparta area for the opportunity to be closer to my family. My brother and his family have been living in Lake Mohawk for 20 years and our mother moved to Lake Mohawk in the fall of 2021, leaving the family home of 60 years in North Queens,N.Y. As my brother travels frequently as his career requires and with our mother turning 89 this month, July'23 it gives me great comfort to be close to them both.
I am in contract to sell my house in Suffolk County, Long Island and I am currently looking to purchase locally.
Since my retirement I have been able to focus more on my passion for the game of golf and the local courses offer a wonderful range of opportunity to explore. Fishing has also been a wonderful way for me to experience the beauty of the land and again the opportunities in Sussex County are endless.
