He retired in 2006 after 39 years. He was a member of St. Augustine’s Catholic Church Choir and POPS orchestra until moving to Georgetown, Georgia to beautiful Lake Eufaula. Besides his family and dog, Maggie, who is a rescue puppy, he loved his OSU Buckeyes! He always wanted to fly and finally took flying lessons in 2010. Besides talking to people, he also enjoyed building projects, fishing, camping, traveling, and having his children and grandchildren come to the lake. He was a caregiver and a take charge, let me do that for you, kind of guy. He is a loving man who will be forever missed by his family and friends.
