He will most of all be remembered as someone who dedicated his life to his family. Active in boy scouts, youth sports programs, and the PTA. He supported his children's interests. Papa's "one liners" will be missed and are often repeated: "Get your head out of the idiot tube," Don't talk to hear yourself talk," and one of our favorites, "Pull up your pants."

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Sunday, Dec. 9, 1 p.m., at Park Ridge Presbyterian Church, 1300 W. Crescent, Park Ridge. Interment is private.
