A husband, dad, and grandpa, his family brought delight, and he took pride in his chili, that he made for chilly nights. He loved the Pittsburgh Steelers, and was a Pittsburgh fan for life, although he made his way to Warren, Where he met his future wife. And through the good and hard times, his faith was at his core, always serving his community, with an open heart and door. So while Alzheimer’s robbed his mind, our memories remain, and we know he’s home with God now, free of suffering and pain.”
