He was a diehard NASCAR fan and enjoyed college football, especially the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. He also liked his daytime TV, including Days Of Our Lives and the Ellen DeGeneres Show, visiting the casinos and sitting down to a good meal. He will be best remembered for his ever-present sense of humor.
