Born on the 4th of July, 1915, in New York City, his earliest years were spent in Philadelphia, where his father owned a delicatessen. While still in grammar school, his family purchased a farm in the Allentown, N.J. area. There, for the first time, he was confronted with an English speaking school, adding to his fluency in 3 languages. Like many of his generation, he left school to support his family during the depression. Beginning as a painter's apprentice, he as able to observe and teach himself all of the building trades. So much so that, in the early 1950' during a severe building materials shortage caused by the Korean war, he was able to single handedly build his family's home in Robbinsville, with much of the building materials coming from an old 19th century church he demolished in Allentown. He went on to a life-time career at Delaval in Trenton, starting as a machinist and retiring as a division supervisor. In retirement, he was a devoted grandfather. While a resident of the assisted living community at CareOne at Hamilton, he enthusiastically supported the staff in leading craft projects for the dementia patients.
