Treat Williams was living his best Hallmark life

Mowing today.

Though he played football as a college freshman, he dropped it when he realized theater was his passion.

Despite his successes in New York and L.A., Williams remained a New England boy to the end.

He and wife Pam lived in Vermont, where they raised their son and daughter.

Heartbreakingly, Williams had just posted two Hallmark-worthy tweets just hours before his death.

He had been mowing his expansive property, and mused, “Wish I could bottle the scent.”
