He met his future wife while attending Hoover High School. They were married June 12, 1982. During their 42 years of marriage, they welcomed three children: Erin, Ryan, and Alan. </p><p><br></p><p>He was a revered radiologist focusing on providing the most thorough readings and making sure to pass his knowledge along to as many as possible.
