He was a good and loving father who took his family traveling every chance possible.  He moved to Florida in 1980 to begin a career at Eastern Airlines making it possible to travel all over the World.  He was a runner and participated in the World Airline Road Races when possible.  The family traveled to Australia, London, Ireland, Hawaii, Costa Rica, and the Bahamas to name a few.  He loved Florida life and became an avid boater and fisherman.  He took the time to coach softball and soccer with the girls.  At a young age he began drawing and painting and became a very talented artist.
