He loved time spent on Cape Cod and trips to view the colors of autumn in Maine during September and October. Recently, he started learning Spanish and was eagerly anticipating becoming fluent in a second language.

In recent years, he excelled at photography and was currently nominated for an award for his artistic abilities in the field. From sunsets in Florida to the New England coastline, he was always able to capture a special moment on film.
