He loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them. His life-long passion for music gave him the opportunity to play drums in several bands throughout his life. He recently had started playing the bass guitar as well as the drums. Saturdays were now spent with his future son-in-law, Gil, jamming in the kitchen with a host of friends stopping in to play. Instead of a dinner table his wife had a drum kit in her dining room. He had recently ventured into the mobile DJ business. He also was a passionate Condors Hockey fan.
