He was a proud member of the Polish Russian Lithuanian American Citizens Club and a huge Boston sports fan. He enjoyed traveling, going on cruises and vacations with family, and spending time outdoors. He also enjoyed entertaining and making people laugh.
He was a kind and generous man who was always willing to help someone in need. Most of all he cherished every moment he could spend surrounded by his family.
