He worked in Landscaping holding several positions with landscape companies in the Atlanta area. His specialty was building waterfalls.

His lawn and garden were his pride and joy. He enjoyed cooking. He was famous for building intricate Bird Houses which were always in demand by family and friends. In his free time he was always working on crossword puzzles.

As an avid Notre Dame fan (despite being in the heart of “Bulldog” territory) he would call or text his mother and siblings during and after each Notre Dame game!

A memorial service will be held at a later date.
