He loved a lively political debate and would encourage anyone to engage. Above all, he loved time with his family and friends. One of his greatest joys were his grandchildren and spent as much time as possible with them watching the latest superhero movie, going to their games, or sitting back to listen while they told “Pup” about their day.
