He enjoyed traveling, the gym, gourmet food, non-gourmet food, cheap cigars and spending his Sundays screaming at the Philadelphia Eagles who usually “stunk and deserved to lose”. In addition to his numerous accomplishments, he was most proud of his family and his grandchildren and will be missed by all that knew him.
