He also leaves his very special girlfriend of 20 years, Rita Mardyla. Playing cards, going out to eat, and watching TV were his favorite things to do. He was the sweetest man who was very loving and caring who dearly loved his family and friends. A man of great integrity and sincerity, he didn't have a mean bone in his body. He was a very generous man and asked little of anyone. Being a happy person and appreciating everyone and everything, this considerate and wonderful man will be truly missed.
