All who knew him will remember him sitting on his white bucket at a softball game, rulebook in hand. He coached many kids in the community. He treated every kid on the field as his own. If they needed shoes, pants, bats or even a glove, he bought it. It was as though he adopted them for the season. He took many of his teams to state and was so proud of all of them He coached for over 30 years in Little League, at Winslow High School and for the junior high. His daughters, Marisa and Rita, took up coaching after him and you could always find him at one of their games.

He enjoyed being the best grandpa and uncle to his grandkids, nieces and nephews. He was there anytime, anyplace for all his friends. He would listen and always give the best advice.
