The Poconos outdoor scene in the early 1970s brought out his woodsman side as he began hunting. His favorite winter activities included snowmobiling through Pocono Farms and skiing in Killington, VT.

He will be remembered for his contagious smile,goofiness in public, jovial personality and infectious love of life. He is strongly missed by those who love him.
