He was a huge Raider’s fan, but his favorite past time was fishing, and he enjoyed many hours with his dad on their boat. Even when the fish didn’t bite and the weather was bad he was never willing to give up “because we always had to have enough fish for the big fish fry” which he also enjoyed because family and friends would attend and celebrate. Usually on July 4th, which was his birthday.
