Pops worked as a vending machine mechanic for Canteen Vending, where he demonstrated the dedication and strong work ethic that characterized his life.
An avid Philadelphia Phillies fan, Pops enjoyed cheering on his favorite team. Above all, he cherished spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. His quiet nature, hardworking spirit, and unwavering devotion to his family will always be remembered by those who knew and loved him.

Interment will follow at Resurrection Cemetery.
Pops will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his loving family and all who had the privilege of knowing him
Pops always had the funniest sense of humor and was just so nice to be around. I’ll always remember him drinking pina coladas with fresh banana, sitting under the waterfall in our pool, enjoying his ice cream, and simply taking in the love that surround him and his family. He was the best Pops anyone could ever ask for. The Griswolds love and miss you so much.
