His favorite magazine was Popular Mechanics and applied many of its principles in his own home. He would take on plumbing, electrical, woodworking projects and had the ability to problem solve them all. He enjoyed reading, model trains, computers, eating out, traveling and most of all driving of which he did as often as possible especially to visit his daughters out of state. He loved his grandchildren and could often be found sitting off in his chair holding one or more of them. He graduated from Boston College High School in 1952 and went on to serve in the Navy during the Korean conflict. While in the Navy he completed the Aviation Electronics Technician School. He attended Northeastern University and worked for 42 years at the Raytheon Company as an electrical engineer.
