Numerous accomplishments can be listed about his life – such as helping the local Bald Eagle population in Florida, being a school teacher for 40 years, a Mason for more than 50 years and being a clown for the Shriners – but part of his true legacy is that he was an incredible spirit who embodied love, compassion, presence, honesty and protection of the vulnerable. 

The world lost a good person who will be missed by those who have survived him: his children Edward, Richard and David, his daughters-in-law, Margaret and Cecilia, and his grandchildren, EJ, Kelly, Alexander and Nicholas. He’s now rejoined his wife Sylvia in the spirit-realm, but he will be missed on this earthly plane.
