He was a man of faith and a devoted family man who was proud of his grandchildren's many accomplishments. He was an avid gardener whose green thumb could grow anything; including the pride of his garden, his fig trees. A man with a heart of gold he fed many from his garden, employed many, and inspired many. He loved traveling, playing bocce, and sitting back and sharing a glass of his homemade wine with family and friends. He has left behind a rich legacy for generations to follow.
