Wade was an avid fisherman and golfer who lived for family, friends and sports. He was always had a smile, a bear hug, and an off-the-cuff joke ... and the best laugh you ever heard. Wade docked his fishing boat in Duxbury Harbor, and belonged to both Duxbury Yacht Club and Plymouth Country Club. A dedicated Dad, he extended his love for sports into coaching for his children's sports teams in their elementary and middle-school years. A Duxbury High School graduate, Wade was a tri-captain on the football team during his own glory days. He went on to attend Ole Miss (University of Mississippi) and later returned to Massachusetts, eventually settling back into his hometown of Duxbury. In 1992, Wade took on the family business, Anchor Insurance Agency. As of 2012, he continued his insurance career at Samuel F. McCormack Adjusters.
