"It is with deep sorrow that my brother Morgan, sister Cass and I announce that our beloved father has passed away. As many of you know, he was a native of Linden, New Jersey and was a stellar athlete at Linden High School. He received a football scholarship to Purdue University, where he was a star athlete and was named MVP in the 1967 Rose Bowl as a defensive back. He was a 1st round draft pick of the Boston Patriots, and would later play for the Minnesota Vikings and the Houston Oilers. After retiring from the NFL in 1974, he went on to own several businesses in the Houston area.
He has left behind many friends and family and we received much love and wisdom from him. Memorial services will be held in Houston and Linden in the next few weeks. We will provide an update and details in the future.
