Red was a great man. Self reliant comes to mind. How many people can say they pored their own concrete driveway or built their own garage? Red survived the Great Depression & the Ardennes Forest without winter gear fighting in the Battle of the Bulge 1944-45. He worked on the South Buffalo Railroad for 35 years & along with his wife Joan he fathered 3 amazing daughters Joan E., Dianne and Pat and I was lucky enough to marry Pat. Rest in peace Red
