Because of his devoted family, he was able to stay at home so he could be cared for by his family with help from Hospice. His entire life revolved around his religion, family, and work. He was an Elmira Firefighter for 37 years and retired from the Chemung County Sewer District after 40 years of service. He loved bowling, playing Euchre and watching his children at their sporting events. After they graduated, he and his wife liked to travel to see them and oftentimes, to see the grandchildren. In later years he traveled to Myrtle Beach and Florida as snowbirds; finally settling in Florida full time for the last 10 years to enjoy the weather. He enjoyed making rosaries giving many to deployed military, as well as his family and friends.
