Whether it be by plane or boat, he traveled the world with his loving, beautiful wife. He enjoyed watching sports, specifically Premier League soccer games and the Tour de France. He was enthusiastic about trying new cuisines but according to his grandchildren, nothing beat his mean 12 oz. Filet wrapped in bacon on his weber grill. He enjoyed sharing his passion for the stock market with others. During the pandemic his illness progressed and he always looked forward to FaceTime with his 2 adorable west coast grandchildren.
