 After retiring as a Software engineer, he went back to his first love of art and started Woodburnng; a type of artwork where a burning tool is used on different wood canvases that he would afterwards paint using water colors. He was inspired by many places in New Hampshire and Massachusetts; covered bridges, landscapes, log cabins, and Bearskin Neck Rockport.   He sold several pieces of his art work as well as had them displayed in the Leech Library in Londonderry, NH.

He loved attending antique car shows.  His favorite restaurant to go to with his family was the Old Mill in Westminster, MA. He was a true Boston sports fan; avidly watching and attending many Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins and Celtics games. He also enjoyed fantasy sports.

He loved TV shows and movies including Columbo, Law and Order, Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. He was a lover of classic music such as the Oldies, Frank Sinatra, instrumental classical and The Phantom of the Opera.  

 More than anything else in the world, was the love he had for his family. He was a devoted and caring parter as well as father and “papa”. He is survived by the love of his life Patricia Bianchi of Winthrop, MA.
