The obituary will read 1932-2025. The year he entered the world, and the year he left. What's more valuable is that little line, the dash, that represents the 92 years of his life, and a damn good life. A family man who had 9 kids, started a business, served his country, had 21 grandkids, and was living to see those grandkids have 20 great grandkids. A man who remained sharp until his final days, who loved his late wife with all of his being, so much so that he couldn't bear to live a full year without her by his side.

So here we are, while he was married to his soulmate for 70 years, he now gets to rest with her for eternity, and we are left with the memories of all the years he gave us. Memories we are so thankful to cherish, and while the dash itself may be short, the years it represents will be cherished for a long time.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday, January 15th, at 5:00 PM in the Holy Trinity Parish, 1409 Park Ave., Woonsocket, RI.

Burial will be private.
