He was married to the love of his life, Irene (Harris) for 63 years until her passing in November 2019. Together they raised 5 children, teaching them to stand tall and work hard. He believed in working hard, making an honest living, and standing up for yourself. His perseverance in living no matter what life threw at you was an inspiration to all.
