Dad was hard-working and dedicated. He was a military man devoting 8 years of serving our country in the Army including a year in Vietnam. He spent more than 50 years working as a mechanic. where he was known for his ability to fix any car you brought to him. Despite his many responsibilities, he always made time for his family and his passions.

Though Dad may not have liked being the center of attention, he deserves to have his long years of fatherly love honored. He was a steady, unmoving force that left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. He enjoyed spending his weekends helping the Charity Riders,Inc. that he co-founded,   visiting with family and riding his motorcycle. His sense of humor was something he shared with his children, leaving a mark on us that will never fade.

Friends will be received on Tuesday from 2-4pm and 6 until the time of Funeral Service at 7:30pm in Darroch Cremation and Funeral Tributes, Inc., 2640 Mill Street, Aliquippa www.darrochfuneralhome.com

We find comfort in knowing that Dad's legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us, the love he shared, and the memories we will cherish forever
