He particularly loved his family, being with them at family gatherings, sharing with his grandchildren his many skills, telephoning his daughters and e-mailing them. He was always there for them, ready to help in anyway.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Mabel (Totten) Faoro; his six daughters and their husbands, Victoria and Louis De Luca of Frankfurt, Ky., Linda and Joseph Rohacevich of Grand Gorge, Susan and Stanton Tepfer of Geneva, Gina and James Gratton of Plattsburgh, Jamie Kellerhouse of Grand Gorge and Deborah and Robert Rodrigues of Westford.
