He was an outstanding athlete and avid golfer. He was also a man of great faith, a devout catholic and served his parishes of Our Lady of Mercy, Hicksville, St Lawrence the Martyr in Sayville, and, in his later years, St Theresa Lisieux in Fort Myers and St Paul in Summerfield, Florida.

He was an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist and enjoyed bringing Holy Communion to the sick, the homebound, and those in Veterans Homes. 

However, His greatest joy was spending time with his beloved wife and family.
