In addition to playing multiple sports, he loved working with kids and for many years he volunteered to coach little league and senior league baseball in Margate. Mr. T was a kind, gentle man who always put the interests of others ahead of his own. He always had a joke to share and patience to spare. He loved his Phillies and enjoyed nothing more than soaking up some sun on the beach or in his own backyard while eating a delicious piece of his favorite food, watermelon!
