Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church, was also a member of Carpenters Local 639/285, retiring from Krumroy Construction on December 31, 1989.

He loved sports, especially baseball, although unable to see.  His greatest thrill was being in the park when his grandson, Chris, got his first major league hit.  His second thrill was when a grandson in the pros, one in college and one in high school all hit homers the same day.
