Started work as an Engineering Clerk at White Motors (Truck Mfg.) until drafted into the Army serving in Vietnam (66-68). Returned to Cleveland and White Trucks as an Engineer and later moved to Georgia working for Blue Bird Body Co. (School Bus Mfg.) as Liaison Engr. Married in 77 to Donna Ondray, lived in Atlanta, GA; Charleston, SC; and finally Spartanburg, SC when Donna passed away in 1993. After working for several manufacturing companies performing engineering, production control, materials management and manufacturing systems implementations I started a Consulting Business and later purchased a company. It was a very successful venture and I was able to retire in 2005. Since then I have traveled, collected vintage motor vehicles and moved to the scenic mountains of western North Carolina. In 2014 I built a custom home in Lakewood Ranch FL where we spend the winter months while spending my mountain time riding vintage motorcycles and driving vintage cars during the summers while in NC. It's two great places to live enjoying the best of the weather in both.
Was way too shy and too much to myself while at Brush. Looking back, I wish I were more involved with the activities and groups the school had to offer. I do remember some great times with a few close friends during the years and riding a rather small Honda just to "get around". We were all fortunate to have grown up in a wonderful neighborhood and attend a great High School with excellent standards. Those experiences allowed me to reach a very successful life I am able to enjoy today. Thank you Lyndhurst, Ohio and Brush High and the friends I grew up with.

I was a new kid starting in 5th grade at Bolton coming from the inner city school Harvard, off E71st and Harvard.
He was a popular kid at school and for some dumb reason had to pick a fight with me. I ended up wining the fight and got to know him. He was hell on wheels for sure. Sorry to hear of his passing.
