"Butch" grew up in Mt. Vernon, NY and attended Edison High School. After high school, he enlisted in the United States Navy and served aboard the USS Randolph Aircraft Carrier as a Seaman 1st Class. Upon discharge from the Navy, he continued his education and began a career as a firefighter with the Fairview Fire Department, achieving the rank of Captain before his retirement in 1993. A generous family man, he raised his four children in the suburb of Eastchester, NY where he loved to tinker with his tools, take on home renovations and was constantly surrounded by family and friends who were drawn to his charm, sense of humor and infectious personality. He had an amazing willingness to be helpful, could fix anything and always did what was asked of him.

After retirement, he spent the next 20+ years enjoying life with his wife, children, grandchildren, extended family and friends in both New York and Florida.
