""""Red"""" proudly served in the U.S. Navy, helping to protect his country, during both WWII and Korea. After retuning home from Korea, he began a wonderful 48 year career with Chiquita where he protected the world from bad bananas. He was loved and respected by those who knew him. He was a loyal friend and employee who knew how to bring out the best in those with whom he worked and played.
