∼He grew up in Bedford, Mass., where he met his wife Connie of 50 years. He attended UMass and played professional baseball as a right-hander pitcher for the Houston Astros and Montreal Expos in their inaugural 1969 season. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound New Englander had 30 major-league games of experience, all in relief, when the Houston Astros sold him to the expansion Expos days before the opening of the 1969 season. The 26-year-old pitched in just 10 games and 15 2/3 innings for the Expos when assigned to their farm club in Vancouver. He pitched 71 innings for the Mounties, going 2-5 with two saves. The Mounties folded at the end of the 1969 season, and then found himself with the Buffalo Bisons of the International League to open the 1970 season. The Bisons struggled and were near bankrupt when the franchise was awarded to the parent Expos, who moved the team to the Manitoba capital. He got a modicum of revenge on the Expos, when the club played an exhibition game in Winnipeg midway through the 1971 season. The farm hands demolished the big league team by 11-3 and he picked up the save. The pitcher also managed the Whips for part of the season. After retiring as a player, he earned a Masters Degree in business administration from Boston College. He retired in 1997 as president and chief executive officer of Rockingham Bank Corp. In his second retirement, he was active in the Central Asia-American Enterprise Fund and created an education foundation through which students from Central Asia could study business and economics. Through his efforts, hundreds of students from Central Asia received a business or economics education and many more will in the future.
