He was an avid sportsman his whole life, participating in many sports, including: basketball, softball, bowling, water sports, and his favorite golf. The family believes that golf was his favorite because he enjoyed driving the golf cart so much. He also enjoyed watching sports on TV. But when he gave up following the Chicago White Sox in favor of the Phoenix Diamondbacks, his children knew he had truly become a citizen of Arizona, and left his Chicago roots behind. He was a member and former president of the Sun City West Commodore 64 Computer Club, and through this organization became involved with Nadaburg School, where he assisted in setting up the computer lab for the students.
