He was happy with his life as it was, crossing the border each morning from his home in Plaistow, to work at a manufacturing company in Massachusetts.
When the pandemic hit, Lightizer did everything the experts recommended.
He wore a mask everywhere, stayed 6 feet apart from those outside his household, and even wore gloves at work.
