One of his many passions was diving! He loved to dive all over the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico as a Master Diver for over 20 years logging in over 400 dives. When he wasn’t diving you could find him at the shooting range, as well as listening to his favorite 50's music. And if you really knew this man you also know he LOVED his 55 Chevy and his faithful German Shepard Jade.
