I’m so sorry to just hear about his passing… way too late. We grew up together… elementary school, Jr High & high school…. not to mention we both went to Bradley University. We even grew up together in our church Wantagh Memorial Congregational Church. Have contacted many of our classmates. He now will be listed in the Wantagh High School Virtual Memorial. All the people he grew up with and touched send their condolences to his family & friends. Rest in peace my friend
