An avid lover of cars and trains. In his youth working on cars extensively including his prized 1967 Chevelle SS. He participated in demolition derbies.  Later in life growing to love putting together model cars and looking for HO scale trains/buildings that reminded him of his youth to work on.

His love of cinema was vast and eclectic, everything from classics like “It’s a Wonderful Life” to Indiana Jones to Hallmark movies to “My Cousin Vinny” to generous helpings of Charlie Brown and Minions, even with the occasionally sprinkled in quote from “Tommy Boy”.
