If you really knew him, you loved him. He led a hard life but through his struggles he still loved his life and his kids and grandkids. ”You live as if you were destined to live forever, no thought of your frailty ever enters your head, of how much time has already gone by, you take no heed. You squander time as if you drew from a full and abundant supply, though all the while that day which you bestow on some person or thing is perhaps your last.” Friends may call from 5 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, at the Lane Family Funeral Homes, Austintown Chapel. Burial will take place at 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, at Greenhaven Memorial Gardens. Please visit www.lanefuneralhomes.com where family and friends may view this obituary and send condolences.
