The oldest of several siblings, he was the first of his family to come to the United States in 1957. His first priority when he arrived in New York was eating his first American cheeseburger.

His passions included cars, golf, bowling but most of all his family. He will be remembered by his sons as the Best Dad and by his grandchildren as their Opa.
