He was an active member of the Onteora school community as a member of the PTA and was involved with many fundraising projects at both the elementary and secondary schools. He received the Jenkins Award from the New York State PTA and served on many committees within the district. One of his great pleasures was working on the Belleayre Bash, a graduation party held at Belleayre Ski Center.
