He loved his students and was loved by them. He was a kind and gentle person, quick witted and funny, who always had a smile on his face. He loved to tell jokes. In his leisure he enjoyed singing and playing the banjo, playing golf, and watching his favorite sports teams, the Buffalo Bills and Syracuse Orangemen. Most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family, beloved grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. His presence will be deeply missed.
