He enjoyed a life-long passion for his Harley Davidson, touring North America with his wife.

He is survived by his wife, Sandra J. (Wheeler) Wirth; his son, Derek Wirth (Tina); his daughter, Tammi Wirth (Mike); his sister, Maxine Bennett (Ted); his granddaughters, Breana Chappuis (Matt), and Corpsman Sasha Wirth; his great granddaughter, Sophie Chappuis; several nieces and nephews, and a step-brother Robert Tatara (Pat).

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his step-father Anthony Tatara, his step-sister, Rose Bruno, and step brother-in-law, Nick Bruno.
