Cherished grandfather to 19 grandchildren (Blake, Ethan, Kevin, Brendan, Ryan, Lyndsay, Lainey, Jack, Pete, Will, Henry, Emma, Caroline, Thomas, Alex, Abby, Lyle, Claire, and Rosie).

He generously served his community as part of several charitable boards, including Boys Hope, Cincinnati Historical Society, Cincinnati Museum Center and was a baseball and basketball coach for Friars Club for many years in his youth.
