He was raised with his 7 siblings, 5 sisters (Marieantonia, Matilde, Almavina, Estabania and Irene) and two brothers (Philomeno and Abraham). He entered the army at the age of 23 during the Korean War conflict and was discharge 1952 and later settled in New York and became an electrical engineer.

After falling ill, he returned to New York in 2014 and made his residence in New City, Rockland County. There he joined the Clarkstown Senior Center, enjoying the company of its many members. Later, he moved to the Tappanzee Manor assisted living in Nyack, where he met with the caring staff and residents, living out his golden years.
