I’ve lost a very dear friend, coworker and kindred spirit. I will forever remember his kindness, humor and how he enriched the lives of everyone who knew him. We were both born and raised in Dorchester (Dot rats they called us) where you defined your neighborhood by the Catholic parish you attended. Of the same age, we didn’t meet until Stride Rite many years later and the bond was immediate. For 15 years we worked, traveled, laughed and shared stories of our families. Together with the third member of our brotherhood, Bill Paolozzi, we were inseparable.
I loved him as a brother and will miss him terribly but I’ll always smile at his memory and ‘classic’ stories. He was a great man. Rest well my friend, “everything is under control”.
