On Saturday June 18, 2022 Our Lord called Home our father, son, brother and grandfather. He proudly served in the United States Navy and he enjoyed the places and adventures he experienced. He was a person of many trades and used those skills to help many who needed them. He liked going to Classic Car shows and having Menudo on Sunday Mornings and sometimes on Saturdays as well.
