A graduate of Emmaus High School and Pennsylvania School of Technology, he was employed by Times News Inc., Lehighton, for 31 years.

He loved his job, often working through pain to finish it. An expert fisherman at an early age, he delighted in winning the “boat pools” after an excursion.

He will be missed by his family and friends.
