He was a hardworking and proud steel worker who devoted many years to Colonial Steel in Monaca. Outside work, he continued to enjoy the camaraderie through his active involvement in the Colonial Steel Golf League and the Center Vets Golf League, where his love for golf was as evident as his love for baseball.
