He is survived by his dog Opie, parents Thomas and Diore, brothers Cory, Anthony, Robert and Kevin, sisters Kathleen and Meghan, and nieces and nephews Evelyn, Aiden, Madilyn, Declan, Cole, Claire, and Callan. He was an exemplary human being and wonderful friend to all. Words cannot convey how much he will be missed.
