His family was his pride and joy, and he held them close in both heart and spirit.

Carmine was a man of faith and found great strength and purpose through his church community. A proud United States Marine, he carried the honor and discipline of his service throughout his life. He was a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and had a deep respect for those who served and protected.
