He was an avid rock music lover and a Steelers superfan. He enjoyed playing guitar, and he loved adding to his immense record and movie collection.

He was a great artist who could rival Charles Schultz.. He won a poster contest at Ozzy Osbourne 's Farewell Tour concert and was invited backstage to meet Ozzy. He was kind, generous, and thoughtful. He was very strong and fought a courageous battle, as he suffered as early as age two, being in and out of the hospital due to his diabetes and then later on with kidney failure.
