He was a well renowned Arizona aviation figure and World War II Army Air Corps Pilot. His contributions to the State of Arizona aviation community and his longtime career in the aviation industry are known by a long list of distinguished friends including deceased friend and fellow pilot, Senator Barry Goldwater. He garnered immeasurable awards and accolades and held the highest esteemed positions in the following organizations: Quiet Birdmen, which held a special place in his heart; Organized Flying Adjusters; Silver Eagles and National Association of Independent Insurance Adjusters. He was a longtime Elk, American Legionnaire, Veteran of Foreign Wars, and Rotarian. He was born March 29, 1919 in Roxbury, Massachusetts but called Arizona his home, remaining here after his discharge from Kingman Army Airfield at the end of WWII. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends for his love, support and friendship. He has rejoined his fellow airmen, loved ones and friends that departed before him and will always be there to watch over those he left behind.
