Dad will be missed by his in-laws and his extended family.

Our father exuded a boundless amount of energy right up to his passing. Over his lifetime he quietly served his community by volunteering his time and connecting with people. His kindness and generosity was endless as was his smile. Dad was raised in a home where the importance of family connection was instilled and he and our mother continued that throughout our lifetime. Whether golfing with his sons, making meat pies with his daughter, and the annual family vacations to Old Orchard Beach. Often our time together was enjoying the butter tarts, date squares, cherry bars and bread that Dad enjoyed baking and sharing. Dad was very present in our lives and he will be forever deeply missed.
