He worked on all our houses, cars and anything else that needed it. He retired from Pilgrim State Psychiatric Hospital and then continued to work part time jobs up to age 82. His most beloved part-time job was being a “Poppy”. Babysitting his grandchildren, driving them home from school, teaching them his trade, cheering them on at their sports.
