He proudly served our country as an Aviation Structural Mechanic in the Navy during the Cuban Missile Crisis, was an avid PIttsburgh Steeler fan, loved classic cars, and 50's and 60's music.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to his care teams at the Grand Villa of Palm Coast, Advent Health of Palm Coast, Halifax Medical Center of Daytona Beach, Abode Care of Monroeville, and Promedica Hospice.
