After retiring from a successful career as a corporate accountant for Midwest Research Institute he enjoyed traveling with friends, especially his many trips to Los Osos CA, and Puerto Vallarta Mexico. He served as a volunteer at Saint Luke’s Hospital on the Plaza for over 20 years.
He is survived by his sons, Robert of California and Andrew of New York; their children, and many friends.
