He worked for over 50 years on Wall Street, while also finding time to coach his children's soccer teams, chaperone a multitude of school activities and teach CCD for many years.
No one can question his love of Bob Dylan and he certainly lived his life "Like A Rolling Stone." He shared so much joy with everyone around him, both with those he held close and those he met along the way. We will all miss him in our own ways - both big and small. Until we meet again.
