As a devoted husband, proud father, and adored Poppa, he was the center of his family's universe, bringing laughter and joy to every get-together. He served as a mentor and role model to his coworkers, providing insight, inspiration, and steadfast support. He fostered innumerable careers by patiently mentoring young professionals and motivating them to lead with compassion and authenticity.
