He was always eager to share stories about his family and heritage back in Ireland. 

He was a beloved grandfather, leaving behind five grandchildren, Katherine Horgan, Alexandra Bressette, Katerina Marcello, Connor McGowan, and Ian McGowan, who brought him great pride and joy, along with many nieces and nephews. He was a constant and proud presence at soccer games, acting as an avid spectator for his two grandsons. His granddaughter, Katherine, was appreciative of all the time they spent together, touring the bird sanctuary, grilling outside, and just talking about life and being educated about Irish culture.
