On New Yearâs Eve 2024, our beloved Papa was called home to God, leaving behind a legacy of love, wisdom, and service. For nearly 60 years, he touched countless lives as a devoted teacher in East Meadow and Sayville, inspiring generations with his kindness, dedication, and legendary humor. A devoted husband, proud father, and adoring grandfather, Papaâs love for family was matched only by his passion for the New York Mets.
This year, we walk in the Lustgarten Pancreatic Cancer Walk to honor his memory and to help ensure that no one will ever have to endure the struggle of pancreatic cancer. Every step we take is for himâand for the countless others who deserve hope, healing, and more time with the people they love.
We miss you every day, Papa.Â
