He was a stalwart of the Irish-American community where he belonged to many of the greater Boston Irish clubs and societies, including the Leitrim Society of Boston. His fondest memories were of his times with the Norwood Irish Music Club; planning and participating in the dances, the many trips including those to the Catskills and the yearly cookout in Portland, ME, as well as organizing fundraising events for any who came into some type of misfortune.
