After 40 years working for the U.S. military, I retired in 2020. I spent 20 years as an active duty Soldier and another 20 years as a Department of Defense civilian. I moved back to my home state, Delaware, after I retired which is on the east coast, south of Philadelphia/New York and North of Baltimore/Washington D.C. I am undecided about my willingness to relocate, but I probably would not be willing to permanently relocate outside the U.S. Unexpectedly, I find myself widowed after a sudden illness took my wife. I am hoping to find the right match to fill the void of not having a companion and confidant to share the future with. At 65 and following retirement, I am enjoying a slower pace of life and more laid back lifestyle. I am easy going, not interested in drama, and value a peaceful environment. As such, I am only interested in mature, stable women, preferably at least 48 years old.
