He enjoyed being around dogs, watching any professional football games and fishing on Lake Michigan.

Fishman, Marcia Fishman, Rosalind Poynter, Marlene Flamm, Reva Wygant, Rose Undem, Ilene Cohen, Marla Mashak, Rochelle Mahler, Fanchon Cohen, David Cohen and Anita Cohen, Carol Ann Shaver, Larry Martin, Abe Martin and Steve Martin; and very special friend and caregiver, Carole Reinhardt and his special caregivers: Theresa Lau and Kathy Greco.
