• Notes

  He was a well known attorney in Canton, Ohio who practiced primarily workers compensation law. He won notable cases regarding workers who contracted leukemia due to working around radiation. He remarried but there were no children from that union. He is buried in Canton in an above the ground tomb that was manufactured to look like Napolian's tomb. In his later years he sailed quite extensively on lake Erie in his 36` sailing sloop.
