He was born May 5, 1953 to Joseph and Delores Matteo. His love of the railroad began with C&NW, then on to BNSF until retirement.
He has reunited in heaven with his parents, sister Michele, brother-in-law Mark, nephew Matthew and father-in-law Wayne Riggs.

We are blessed with many memories of camping, Harley rides and time at the cabin.
A celebration will be planned for a later date.
