He received a MBA from George Washington University and a law degree from Fordham University. He married his beloved Barbara Kelly in 1969 and they recently celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary snorkeling in the Caribbean and transiting the Panama Canal.

Also surviving is his devoted sister, Sheila Villani and her family.
