He enjoyed boxing and wrestling when he was in college, and loved to share stories of his young days with his family. On February 28, 1966, he married his beloved wife, Anna Lore. Together they celebrated over 50 wonderful years of marriage. He spent his life working on the water. He enjoyed crabbing, fishing, catching eels, digging for clams, and dredging for oysters. He ran a fishing boat and was great at teaching people how to fish. He made tackle which includes sinkers, hooks, baits and other boating and fishing equipment. He invented and obtained a patent for a fish de-hooker. While he had a passion for being on the water, his family was his greatest love.
