He was a coach, a pilot, a musician, a poker player, a motorcycle rider, the list goes on. One of his unique gifts was the ability to organize get-togethers, ski trips, island vacations, holiday celebrations, again the list goes on. He loved including everyone and made sure that everyone was having a good time, even if he didn't know you. He will be missed dearly but we will never forget him."
