Cars were a passion of his, he treasured classic vehicles and in the 1960s even owned a few race cars which he enjoyed driving. He loved all types of sports: football, baseball, basketball; but, his favorites were golf and bowling. He was even a member of the Stratford Bowling League and the Stratford Manor Golf League and enjoyed both the games and the friendships he made. Some of his favorite moments were spent with family playing cards or cribbage. His family and friends will miss his presence in their lives but know that he will never truly leave their hearts.
