His hobbies included throwing darts, playing cards and bowling. He also was a first round pitcher and member of the Hall of Fame for Butler County Horseshoe League and won many state and national championships. He was proud of his Polish heritage and was a member of the Polish Falcons in New Kensington where he served as a trustee on the board. He was also a lifetime member of the 7th Street Sportsman's Club. He truly touched the lives of all he met. Whether it be driving any distance to pick his grandsons so that they didn't have to walk 5 minutes to school or dropping off food from the club after closing to the staff at the local Get Go. He will be deeply missed by all. He is gone but will not be forgotten. Per Bob's request, there will be no viewing or service. Professional services handled by Thomas M.
