He was retired from the International Laborer’s Union, Local 22 and enjoyed hockey “Go Bruins!” and listening to Doo Wop music, cheating at cards with his grandchildren to see if they would catch him, traveling, summers at Hampton Beach, going to plays and concerts, and spending time with family and “The Gang” a very close-knit group of longtime friends.
