Notes - Comments of his daughter Ellen Donovan:
Too young for First World War so went to work in Washington, DC after high school. People in office convinced him to go to college. Returned to Tufts in 1924 and graduated in 1928. Accepted at Harvard Law School but could not afford to go due to the Great Depression.
Ran subway vending machines then became salesman for Chickle Company where he worked until he was 64.
Met wife Kathleen through his sister Helen.
Good father and interested in all his children's activities but a fairly disgruntled person. Heavy smoker. Played the violin and was a passionate Ham radio operator. Huge Red Sox fan. Died the night that Fisk hit 'that' home run in Game 6 against the Reds in 1975.
