After a medical discharge, he moved to California.While there, Chick began working in the retail shoe sales business. After 3 years he moved back to Manhattan, working for AS Beck & National Shoes. In 1976, Chick met his 2nd wife Helen at a dance at The Apollo Ballroom. They married in

1985, residing in Tenafly, NJ. During that time, the couple “snowbirded” to LBTS for 25 years, finally taking up residence 5 years ago. Chick’s extensive interest in classic cars grew into a lifelong hobby of buying, selling and repairing them. He was an active member of The Community Church of LBTS, and regularly sang Karaoke at Murphy’s Bar & other venues. He was best known for his exceptional ballroom dancing, which he enjoyed his whole life. His wife Helen was always his favorite dance partner. Chick is survived by his loving wife Helen, daughters Christine and Joann, son Richard, step-children George, Jane and Anne, 12 devoted Grandchildren and 4 Great-Grandchildren. Chick’s family & friends are grateful for & proud of his

100 years on earth, and hope to honor his memory by enjoying each day to the fullest, as he did.
