He will be fondly remembered as a hard-working family man, great father and dedicated husband who was admired by all his friends, and his customers at Looz Auto Repair.

He is survived by his dear brother Richard and his wife Lourdes, dear sister Carol Liebzeit, many nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, and his life-long friend since first grade, Paul Butterworth.
