Age 76, passed away on September 16, 2017. He attended Maryknoll High School, earned a BS in Civil Engineering at University of Hawaii-Manoa, and served in the US Army as a Lieutenant. He also served as the Vice President of Belt Collins Engineering. He was a man of the highest degree of integrity and was honorably discharged in 1965 as a second lieutenant in the United States Army.
