A smart, kind and loving man. He graduated high school at the age of 16. He went to Rutgers University and majored in mathematics. He loved baseball, enjoyed going to the racetrack and listening to music. He passed his love of music on to all of his children. He was an avid bowler and enjoyed playing golf.

There are not many men who would accept a woman with 6 children and raise them all as if they were their own.  He walked into an instant family and made it his family. Not one of his children ever questioned his love for them because they all knew he loved them.

Visitation will be held 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm on Sunday, November 30, 2025 at the Bermingham Funeral Home, 216 S. Main St., Wharton.

A funeral service will be held at the funeral home following the visitation.
