Whether it was taking them to swim meets, school plays, or baseball games, he loved seeing his children participate in sporting and school events and cheering them on. He was an avid golfer until his health prevented him from playing, always reminding everyone of his hole in one three different times. He was aware of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and would regularly participate in 5K races into his 70s and riding his bike well into his 80s. He and his wife, Mary, traveled to all 50 states. They loved visiting all of the Major League Baseball Stadiums. He loved baseball and could recall to the minute details of most of the games and players he watched. It was a pleasure to hear the stories of the great older players.
