He worked as a nurse at the former State Hospital in Harrisburg; and he proudly served in the United States Army.
He loved to hunt and fish; he enjoyed tinkering with old cars with his son, and he was known as "the Wizard" as he could fix anything. Most of all, he enjoyed being "Pappy", playing with his grandchildren always made him smile and laugh. He will be dearly missed.
