Professionally, he worked as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Charleston and had a strong passion for facial reconstruction of children born with cleft palates. His memorable adoration for all-things Irish was superseded only by his love for family. Stories recounting his grit and warm heart will persist among anyone who had the blessing of knowing him.
