This veteran served his country honorably from October 1973 to August 1977 as a Medical Admin Specialist attached to the US Air Force Medical Center. He attained the rank of Sergeant. He served with the NY City Transit Police for 20 years while also serving in the US Air Force Reserve. He passed away in a hospital in September 2024, and was in the city morgue about to be buried at Potters Field.
