Born in Boston Mass of working class parents a year before the Great
Depression. Moved o Compton, California in 1954, and nine years later
settled in Holy Mother Venice where he has lived until his death in 1995. He
is survived by three sons. He "earned his bread" as a union sound
electrician and was an active member of the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers union. He was active in Venice community activities, in
the Venice Town Council and the Venice Canals Festival. He loved all types
of music, but especially jazz and classical music. I quiet a retiring man
he loved to drink, smoke, and enjoyed writing fiction in his last years.
