After graduation, I went to work in lower Manhattan and attended SI. Community College.

In May of 1961, I married my sweetheart, Darlene.  Moved to New Paltz, NY, we have lived here ever since.  We have been married for 47 years.

We have nine children:  Peggy, Laura, Lisa, Tony, Jenny, Missy, Rachael, Jacob and Robert. We are the proud grandparents of 19 grandchildren - 10 grandsons and 9 granddaughters; we are also great-grandparents to 2 great-granddaughters.

I was in the automobile field for over 35 years as a salesman and manager for a Chrysler and Dodge dealership.

I am now retired and babysitting some of the grandchildren.
