Beloved husband and best friend of Kathleen for 61 years. Loving father to Robin, Barbara and Tarra. Cherished grandfather to Jennifer, Vinny and Samantha. Loving great grandfather to Gia and Kye. Supportive brother to George and sister Patty. 

He will also be missed by many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his brothers Jimmy and John. His legacy of true friendship, leadership, volunteerism, and generosity—paired with his incredible sense of humor—will forever resonate throughout our community.
