His grandchildren were his pride and joy. He was often found supporting them in their many activities. His granddaughter is his favorite soccer goalkeeper and grandson on his journey to completing his Eagle Scout and attending his band concerts. He was so proud to tell everyone he met that they were both honor roll students and in various academic clubs.
