Thanks all for the words. I did not realize he was 67 until I read his obituary. Even though he was a D3 supervisor he still officiated HS basketball and was a big influence on the board I joined a couple years ago. I actually worked a HS game with him this past season. He was a family first type of guy and he has a lot of people who are going to miss him.

This is why my father sold his house in Florida and moved back up to where he grew up outside of Philly. Family and friends who has known for decades are starting to die off, and he wanted to be around them more.
