He was very dedicated to assisting the poor, the homeless, the housebound and all who were in need. His ideas were always true to his personality, his constant smile and Irish humor and the stories he loved to share. He loved animals, especially his Labrador Retrievers Sam and Rufus, who were always at his side. He was a continual friend and a champion to all people in his life and those he would reach out to with a helping hand.
