He grew up on Newcastle Rd. in the Westvale neighborhood of Syracuse. He attended Solvay High School where he excelled in football, basketball and baseball.

His father had worked at Allied for 44 years and his grandfather for 48 years. Utilizing his amazing mechanical abilities and his leadership skills, he rose to the position of Plant Supervisor of Maintenance and Construction. During a wonderful retirement he and his beloved wife Ruth and numerous friends traveled all over the United States and much the world. For many years they "snow birded" in Myrtle Beach, SC and St. Augustine, FL., with their Central New York friends.
