He worked for Battelle Laboratories and Brookhaven National Laboratory before joining the Aluminum Association in 1969 as Technical Director. A position he held until his retirement in 2000 and then continued on as a consultant until 2013 which afforded him the opportunity to pursue his passion for travel. He is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Margery (Pitasky); sons, Bruce (Rachael) and Jeff; daughter, Sharon Ross (Greg); two grandchildren, Ericka and Neil; and sister, Lois Morris. He will also be missed by the members of the Game and Puzzle Club and Music Box Society.
