He worked at Morrison Machine Company and the Department of Motor Vehicles. He was also a Totowa Marshal and a Life Member of the Totowa First Aid Squad. One of his greatest enjoyments was working as a Totowa crossing guard. He loved talking to everyone that he crossed and even to those who stopped by to chat. He always had a wave and a "hello" for everyone. He enjoyed his years on a bowling league, fishing with his best friend Lou (always bragging that his fish was the "biggest"), and watching the Yankees on TV. He was a good man who always took care of his family. The family will receive friends on Friday, August 26 between 2-4 and 7-9 PM at the Festa Memorial Funeral Home 111 Union Blvd., Totowa.
