He left the world a better place for his family – his wife, Lisa, children Katy and Nicholas and their spouses, Shelby and Christina, and four grandchildren, plus numerous family, friends, and colleagues at Northwestern Mutual, where he recently retired as managing partner for Louisiana and Mississippi. He also left his Mary, Queen of Peace family a better place for his generosity of heart, for his service on the Stewardship and Pastoral Councils, and for the legacy he leaves of big dreams and profound faith.
