Much loved son-in-law of Theresa Jordan and her late husband, William Jordan. A favorite of his seven brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law and fourteen nieces and nephews.

Following graduation in 1969, he played professional basketball with the New York Nets and returned to Boston College to earn his law degree. He was an avid horse racing and Boston sports fan and he found golf to be an elusive sport.
