He is missed and fondly remembered by his incredible network of friends, colleagues and the Tactical Training Center in Flemington N.J., as well as members of the Somerville Elks Lodge B.P.O.E. # 1068 and Ancient Order of Hibernians Division # 7 New York County.

Due to his background in LE/Intelligence he was immediately welcomed in to TTC. Over the course of his training, a friendship developed, one of respect, loyalty and Honor. He was a regular at the TTC, and was part of the VIP crew. He never missed a session, and brought his humour and passion for the shooting sports to every event.
