He was the grand master of the South Paterson chapter of Sigma Kappa Delta (SKD). He loved cooking for family and friends and sharing his infamous recipes. He was an athlete and a sports enthusiast who enjoyed following the Dodgers, Raiders and college basketball. He had the ability to bring people together through his passions, like golf and music, and created family wherever he went. Music was a constant state of mind; whether he was organizing a music gig at Paul's, talking about his Rock & Roll days, or showing everyone the newest band he discovered. Towards the end of his life, his loyal dog, Annie, was always by his side providing companionship. His wife, Mary Anne, was his best friend and he had the fortune of knowing her since childhood due to his friendship with her brother, Dennis Lysaght.
