he was in the first graduating class of Bishop Hartley High School in 1961. His work ethic started young and he delivered the newspaper and bussed tables
at Emil’s restaurant. After
high school he took jobs in construction and after some college classes, he started working at Burgess and Niple on October 25, 1965 where he was a civil engineering designer for 43 years until he retired in 2008.

to take a fishing trip to
Canada or Lake Erie with his buddies. Friends and
