A handsome man with a wry sense of humor and a legendary head of hair, he enjoyed sharing good music, great food, red wine and old stories, with family and friends. When he visited his hometown in Pennsylvania, he always went to the farmer’s market for PA Dutch specialties, including vanilla twists and ring bologna. He loved the Florida sunsets, and is remembered as a thoughtful and generous person who lived to laugh, always taking the opportunity to play jokes. He will be remembered for his playfulness, his devotion and also how often he wished people a happy birthday, when it was in fact not their day of birth. He loved making others feel special.
He is predeceased by his beloved wife, Dixie, and his parents.
