As a child, he loved building model airplanes and playing with American Flyer and Lionel trains. He also played the Accordion. In his twenties and thirties, he was an avid drag racer and car show enthusiast. His love of Chevys and Dale Earnhardt never wavered. His latest hobby was buying and selling collectable Hess trucks on eBay. He was a born again Christian and a member of Calvary Chapel in Philadelphia, PA.
