He learned the art of construction and by 1962 moved into a new house he and Silvia built with their four hands on the west side of Madison. By that time they had added two more children a daughter and a son. He worked for various large construction firms and had his part in building more than a few of the monumental buildings and homes in town. In the early 80's he and his son Steve formed their own company and did small residential remodels before moving on to commercial construction. They worked together for over 22 years. He loved the outdoors, hunting and fishing walking the beach in Florida, good food and conversing with others. He remained physically active, and looking much younger than his years until 2010 when his first of 3 stokes robbed him of his abilities. He is preceded in death by his wife Silvia who passed in March 2012. He is survived by his four children, Lya, Mick, Marietta and Steve and three grandchildren.
