He loved anything to do with aviation and was a big history buff. Some of his other passions were golf, sailing, camping & spending time with his family and friends. Golf became one of his son Steve’s passions thanks to his father.  He loved animals especially dogs and even put up with his wife’s love for cats. later he welcomed two grandchildren, Parker (13) and Brayden (8) that brought him great joy to watch grow in front of his eyes.

He was cremated and his wish is to be spread in the Pacific Ocean where his father and a younger brother are spread as well. A celebration of Life will be at a later date.
