His many occupations included: janitor, gardener and subway driver for the Senate where he was known for always whistling a happy tune. He loved playing the slots, cards—especially pinochle, golf, bowling, gardening, fishing and watching baseball, but the thing he loved most was enjoying a great meal out and telling stories and jokes with his loved ones. He was known for his grin, his easy-going attitude and his love for others.
