One of his great passions was teaching the game of golf to young and old alike. He was a mentor to many.

For that reason, in lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere), a military based charity run by the PGA of America and its affiliates. PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans with disabilities to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being.
