He loved the Brigantine, NJ lifestyle, where he built a home and lived by the water for more than 25 years. He was a big sports fan for his entire life. He would talk endlessly about his team, the "Philadelphia Eagles" and everyone knew he had the TV turned up loud and was rooting for them up to their Superbowl win. He loved to laugh and had a wonderful sense of humor. He was quick to share a story or tell a joke. He always had a twinkle in his eyes because he loved life. Few people wake up singing songs like him. He loved a good cup of coffee and became a connoisseur of it, rarely turning down a cup.
