He was a loyal employee of Roundy’s for 40 years and a proud Teamster. His favorite hobbies were watching sports, deer hunting, fishing, and of course his casino trips. He enjoyed cookouts in the backyard and Milwaukee Brewer Game Tailgates. He loved card games at deer camp and was tough to beat at Sheepshead. He cherished his time sharing many laughs with his friends at the Loca Latte coffee shop in Sussex. He will be missed deeply. Well done Dad!
