work on the big ships. He was in charge of photographing the damage to the

but survived and flourished to have a loving family.

in Baltimore. He followed the paths of York Rite and Scottish Rite and the
Grand Lodge of MD. He really wanted to be a clown with the Shrine but his work
injury prevented him from continuing to do this. He enjoyed attending meetings and rose to the lead of many of the organizations he belonged to. He continued to raise money for The Shriner Hospital till the end.
His hobbies were stamp collecting, model boat-building, and family history.
He collected antique guns and Masonic memorabilia. He also loved to attend drive-in movies. Cowboy movies were his favorite.
