He retired from Collins Radio and was a member of the Elks Lodge 251, American Legion Post #5 and VFW Post 788, as well as St. Patrick?s Catholic Church.
He will be fondly remembered for his love of ballroom dance, most especially those waltzes and polkas, and enjoyed being a member of both the Merimyx and Congenial 100 Dance Clubs. He frequently awed friends with his solo Russian Cossack Dance performances and was an avid swimmer and water skier as well.
His humor and delight in laughter, his love of nature and animals and being with people were his most endearing qualities.
The family extends many thanks to Hospice of Mercy, Nurses and Volunteers.
