He loved bowling weekly at the Metro Bowl in Peabody, always trying to improve his score. You could always find him in front of the computer playing his favorite games on Pogo. His greatest joy was watching his two grandchildren, Savannah (his pumpkin) and Kolbi (his bud) grow up throughout the years, attending all their special events and most importantly spending quality time with them. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him, especially by his daughter, Cyndi who cherished him being by her side whenever she needed him the most.
