A devoted son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, brother in law, uncle, US Marine, firefighter, and friend; he will always be remembered as the life of the party, his jokes, making everyone around him laugh, being a prankster and always willing to help others; without hesitation. He enjoyed spending time with his family, friends, dogs and birds; cheering for the Ravens, Browns, Indians, Orioles, and O-HI-O State Buckeyes; cooking, duckpin bowling, flag football, coaching his kids sports teams, Hot Rods, his cup of coffee, Coors Light, Captain Morgan, and margaritas.
