He soon brought his family to join him and they set up residence in Framingham, MA.
Having decided to make the US his permanent home, he bought a house on Old Conn. Path in 2003. It became his favorite place. He would spend countless hours in the shed and garage fixing motors and disassembling scrap metal for recycling. In the US he watched his kids grow up, graduate, get married and begin their families. He was also a member of the New Life Church.
It was a great accomplishment for his life to finally became a US citizen in 2019. He retired in October 2020 from the job he mostly enjoyed doing, recycling for Voltech Electric.
