I’ve been blessed to be a parishioner at Immaculate Conception since 1981. Through the years, the parish has always been a source of strength, inspiration, and happiness through its clergy, fellow parishioners, ministries, and opportunities to serve. God has not only blessed me with my Catholic faith and a wonderful parish, but also with a beautiful family and a rewarding career. I was married to my late wife, Maria, for 25 years. In 2004, she left me with three children, David, Michael, and Elizabeth. David is now married, so I also have a daughter-in-law, Courtney. In the spring of 2008, God was once again so good to me by bringing another lovely lady into my life. Her name is Mary. She and I were married on July 18, 2009. Mary brought two more children into my life, Rick and Sean. To support my family, I’ve worked as an engineer and a sales representative for Kennametal, a company that produces metalworking products in one of its two main divisions. I joined Kennametal in 1979. I look forward to continuing to serve my parish, my family, and my company in the years ahead.
