His main focus was always making sure his family was well taken care of and provided for.
He loved people and cherished his relationships with all he knew.
He cared deeply about others and was always willing to assist anyone with anything.
He had an intense love of literature, and particularly loved reading history and philosophy.
He also loved the arts, and thoroughly enjoyed having season tickets to the Kansas City Symphony, and the Repertory Theatre.
He had a wonderful sense of humor.
He loved to laugh, and to make others laugh with his witicisms' and his wide repertoire of jokes.
