operations, and a four-year adventure as the Director of the DMV's

Brooklyn office.

An avid golfer, he was a charter and long-standing member of the

Mis*ing Links Golf League.

He was a long-time fan of the Dallas Cowboys football team, rarely

missing a game and never giving up the hope for a winning season.

He was an early supporter of ShelterBox USA, donating disaster

recovery supplies to Thailand during the tsunami, and to Haiti and

Japan after earthquakes. He was a great advocate and supporter of

Rotary's End Polio Now initiative. Locally, he collected food and

cherished friends, and his dog, Dolly.
