He often said that by opening the shop after retirement he "went from working 5 days a week to working 6 days a week", something he did until age 94 when the shop closed due to the pandemic.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the American Cancer Society, the Newton Rotary Foundation, or the Worcester County Food Bank.
