He enjoyed fishing on Sundays with his best friend, James Joice. This was his highlight of the week. He loved it so much that he had his wife, Lisa sign a contract saying that the 1st time she tried to stop him from fishing, the marriage would be terminated! He also enjoy all the many family gatherings he attended with his huge family of in-laws. He enjoyed riding his Harley and bragging about his beloved daughter, Amy Jo to all that would listen. The last 6 weeks of his life was spent at home with his wife by his side. During this time, they watched a lot of TV. Lisa was amazed at just how knowledgeable he was when Jeopardy came on.
