Music was another love of his. Singing Rancheras and playing the keyboard for his church choir, beginning at Blessed Sacrament Church in Jamaica Plain, then on Saturdays St. Luke the Evangelist in Westborough and Saint Mary of the Assumption in Milford and most recently at Immaculate Conception Church, Marlborough until his health robbed him of that joy. He loved his family most of all.
