He was nephew, cousin, uncle, and friend to many, who he loved with all his heart and would do anything he could for them.
He had the greatest passion for sports of all kinds and his greatest pastime was watching and participating in play with his boys on and off the field. He was a mentor to many over his lifetime who will always cherish his determination, lessons, and spirit of the games.
