He had many and varied interests, and top among them were flying, scuba diving and golfing. Besides his love of animals he loved nature in all forms, and spent countless hours of his life grooming his yard. He had a deep passion for his home on the West Canada Creek, and cherished the days when his toes were in the sand in the Cayman Islands.
