He was an avid sports fan especially for horse racing, baseball and football. He loved traveling, bicycling, watching old Turner Classic movies, westerns and spending time with his family and friends.

It gave him great pleasure sending Hallmark cards with scratchers and a penny on every occasion.
Music especially Country and Jazz he couldn’t live without…it gave him a sense of peace, comfort and happiness.
