ys as "Diamond Don", he would regale all the ladies with his smooth Sinatra voice. He was an active bowler throughout his years and made sure to teach his family their proper English when playing pool. Grandpa loved his word jumbles and puzzles and was one of the few elites in this world that could do the NY Times crossword in pen. And of course, he did all of this while never wavering loyalty to his St. Louis Cardinals. He was THE MAN and he will be forever missed. Services will be held privately by the family.
