He was a man of faith and his decisions in life were based on his strong Catholic beliefs.

He never knew a stranger and loved spending time with his family and friends. He will be remembered by his infectious smile and generous, giving nature. After the passing of his wife, Linda, he moved to the family lake house and enjoyed his weekly church services and comradery with his friends at the lake.
