A tireless worker and energetic entrepreneur, he came to Canada on a boat from Campobasso, Italy with his mother at the age of 9. He quickly learnt French and English and rose in the ranks of computer engineers. He loved dancing and joined an Italian folk-dancing group eventually meeting Joanne Parent, the love of his life at a dance. He was a computer pioneer, founding Microserv, a first Apple-only store in a small stripmall in Dorval. He also founded the local soccer association in Lachine with other like-minded parents. He was an exceptional father and role model for his children, but what truly made his grey-blue eyes sparkle was the sight and love of his many grand-children which he adored and doted on.
