He traveled extensively with his wife Claire and enjoyed participating in numerous sports and cultural activities. He took great care and interest in his family members’ lives, enabled joyful family gatherings, and continually supported his grandchildren’s educational and athletic endeavors. He enjoyed intellectual activities, read extensively, and stayed mentally sharp by engaging in card and word games.
