He bought his first home on Charlesworth in Dearborn Heights, Michigan and had eight grandchildren who adored him and loved playing kickball in his backyard, hiking in Hines Park, eating blueberry pancakes at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, chewing Dentyne gum, and sipping ginger ale and munching on Awrey's date cookies in the park. He loved boxing and hockey. He worn a perfect black fedora with a little red feather in the side. Loved to exercise and to eat healthy foods.
