Company(A&P) in Newark for 11 years. After the facility closed, he worked for
Beecham Labs(GlaxoSmithKline) in Piscataway as a maintenance mechanic until
his retirement in 1998.

sometimes baseball with the NY Mets, and always the Olympics and the World
Cup. He would often take long walks at local parks and enjoyed many day trips to
Sandy Hook Beach. He took several trips back to Italy where he met his second
wife Mariella.

second wife, Mariella, his two sons JohnMark and David, his daughter Maria
