He not only had an affinity for fishing but he loved watching Old Westerns as well as sojourning on Dixwell Avenue with the fellas observing the bustle and hustle of the historic locale which was perpetually inundated with a diverse group of characters; he also relished conversing with relatives when attending family events.
