A true Patriarch. His greatest love was his family. He was known to participate in and support his grandchildren at all sporting events and loved to talk and brag about them to anyone willing to listen. His favorite passed time was playing golf with his buddies at the Brookstone Golf Course in Derry, NH and bowling in a night league at the Brunswick Bowl in Lowell, MA.
