Found peace on September 3, 2026, at age 76. Loving husband of Susan (nee Napralla) for 56 years. Cherished father of Kenneth (Angela), the late Brian, Connie (Joshua) Eckberg, Laurie (Rob) Schmidt. Proud grandpa of Ryan, Devin, and Callin. Brother of David (Marsha), late Thomas, Rose Marie (Brian) Baker. Further survived by nieces, nephews, other family, and friends.

He proudly served his country as a veteran of the U.S. Army and was a devoted family man who cherished the time he spent with his loved ones. A big NASCAR fan, he enjoyed cheering on his favorite drivers and was also an active member of bowling leagues. He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved being silly, joking, and making his family laugh. He enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, including a good slice of cheesecake and his favorite cocktail, a 7 & 7. He will be fondly remembered for his humor, his love of family, and the many happy memories he created with those who knew and loved him.

Private family services will be held.
