He held this government job for over 26 years. He was still devoted to this position upon his death. His interests included watching sports and “old time favorites” on television.

He supported his children in all their avenues. He was the devoted “Soccer Dad”, “Tool and Handy Fix it Dad and the “I’ll Do It For You Dad.” He made a conscious effort to be present at every event of both his son Nicholas’s and daughter Alysha’s activities.
