He was the truest form of a gentleman and was always willing to lend an ear, whether that had been for advice or just a chat. He had an understated and incredibly wry sense of humor that was a great balance to his wife Chris. He was an athlete most of his life and shared his love of baseball and bowling with numerous family and friends. Beyond his love of sports, he loved traveling with Chris, his family, extended family and friends. He lived a rich life full of love and laughter.
