===Relationships===
He was formerly married to [[Sylvia Hayward]]. After their acrimonious divorce, they are no longer in contact. He blames her for cheating on him and giving him an STD<ref>“I’m so alone, Verona.  I’m trying so hard and I have nothing to show for it.  No friends, no wife- your mother gave me an STD from someone she cheated on me with and then left.  I can’t convey how ''alone'' I am.”

He makes life miserable for [[Verona]] by berating her constantly, and forcing her to do all the work around the house, and also by being miserable all the time.

He has a brother named Grant with two kids.  He used to vent to Grant when Verona wasn't around, but Grant doesn't keep in touch much anymore aside from a batch Christmas letter each year.<ref>Two kids, one born a few months after the wedding, the next about eleven months later.  Divorce shortly after.  Uncle Grant didn’t really stay in touch much.  He sent out one big batch Christmas letter, and he was her dad’s go-to when her dad wanted to vent and Verona wasn’t around, and Verona’s impression was that Uncle Grant had stopped picking up the phone as much, or had backed out of being the emotional support. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2023/01/31 Excerpt] from [[Go for the Throat 23.2]]</ref>
