He was well known for his generosity and his love for sharing stories about his life, career, and the countries that he visited. His favorite experience was spending time with his family.

He carried himself with dignity, strength, and a heart full of love for his family and those who went before him. The family will have a private gathering to honor him at a later date.

He would like to be remembered by having everyone continue to share the stories he was so fond of telling.
