He was a founding member of the combo the "Tikis" as a bass guitarist, organist, pianist and vocalist. He remained an avid musician all his life in many genres but mostly Rock and Roll.

He loved music, all sports, playing golf, cycling, concert going, travel, reading, anywhere where there was a beach or water, and especially his family.
