After graduation I attended Northwestern University for 2 1/2 years majoring in "fraternity life". During that time my parents moved to Palatine. When I moved back in with them there was a girl across the street that I manage to meet and eventually Jan and I got married in October '64. We moved into Chicago, I enrolled in college at IIT and eventually got my BS in civil engineering from there in '69. During the time I was at IIT and since then I have worked as a construction project manager and estimator for a variety of heavy/highway and excavating and site utility contractors.
After graduation we bought a house in Hoffman Estates, IL where we stayed for 20 years and then we built acurrent in Deer Park, IL where we lived until 2011. We retired in 2010 and built a house in McCormick, South Carolina at a place called Savannah Lakes Village on Lake Thurmond where we've lived ever since.
Unfortunately my wife of 55 years, Jan, passed away in July, 2019 after a year long battle with pancreatic cancer so now I'm a real "empty nester".
We had two kids, Scott born in '69 and Heather born in '70, now deceased. And Scott gave us a granddaughter, Katelyn, born in 2002.
