One of the grooviest classmates I had the pleasure to know. Quick to laugh and joke around and SO easy going. My heartfelt sympathies to his entire family. RIP “HAGS”!

Hags!!! The one and only. We met in 7th grade. And we remained friends ever since. From skipping school to go to Aqueduct Race to bet on at tip to hanging day the Toms River house to our various reunions. My memories of you will always bring smiles and laughs. Rest in Peace my friend until we meet in Heaven.
