An avid fisherman and a skilled wood carver, he also enjoyed restoring old cars and was an enthusiastic cook, particularly known for his seafood dishes, which he loved sharing with friends and family. His curiosity and eagerness to learn about a wide array of subjects kept him engaged with life and those around him.
