Because he loved working with the youth of the community, he managed Little League and Babe Ruth teams for 17 years. His other major community service that the entire town loved, was the 59 years he donated at Christmas time taking the children upon his knee and asking each one what was on their Christmas list. Lefty loved his entire family and he will be missed very much.
