An avid lover of all sports, he loved watching and going to games in his spare time. Anyone who would listen Dad loved to talk about history. A lover of “oldies” music, Motown and classic soul, you would hear these tunes playing often in the house. Working on crossword puzzles would peak his interest and he was great word sleuth at working them.
