He was an avid golfer and loved the outdoors! He was a very caring, lovable, and funny guy to be around. When he retired he bought an rv and traveled around to different national and state parks to hike and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I lived in Hawaii for 8 years so he loved to come over and visit me and we would hike and travel to the other islands. He was diagnosed with glioblastoma in May 2023 and held on strong and continued to do the things he loved to the best of his abilities until he passed.
