In 2010, his son Alex married his wife Leslie and in 2012 with the birth of his first grand daughter the “Beautiful Elle” to whom he always referred began a new and extremely rewarding decade in his life. In 2011, Ticu met a new companion Fritz his cherished and much loved dog with whom he spent countless hours. In 2018 along came “Mia Amazing” his adored second granddaughter.

For them he will always be the lovely and generous, “Ticu”.
