During his time in Vieques, he owned and operated Petie’s New York Deli, survived Hurricane Maria, cleaned swimming pools and spent his time with his friends and his beloved dog, Missy. His refreshing, upbeat, friendly, kind, generous personality made him a beloved resident on Vieques and a good friend to all who knew him.
