He had a big heart and was always helping others. His favorite hobbies were riding motorcycles and scuba diving. He was a certified rescue diver and was proud of the many places he dived throughout the Caribbean. He was a huge animal lover and loved all his pets throughout his life and considered them family, especially his first dog “Shilo” and his cat he left behind “Precious”.

He asked that his family and friends gather to have a BBQ or party in his name, because in his words: “We’re Irish!” Arrangements are under the care of Millennium Cremation Service of Vero Beach.
