He completed 12 years of Catholic education at St. Clement Grade School and Bishop David High School, graduating in the class of 1969.

He moved to Danvers, Ma. with his then wife, Fronie McNichol, just before completing his electrical apprenticeship in Louisville, Ky. in 1976 where he lived most of the last 35 + years.

His talents and skills are too many to mention, but he is best known for his exemplary carpenter and building skills. He was a Master craftsman who built and remodeled multiple homes and buildings in both New England and in Kentucky with such attention to detail. Anyone blessed to have had him do work for them, were beyond pleased with the final product, including many of his family members.

He was a wonderful son, brother, Dad, uncle, cousin and friend.
