He loved going on toy runs for Toys for Tots with his fellow riders, bringing toys for children in hospitals during the holiday season. He spent the last years of his life achieving life long dreams, such as riding across the country with his daughter, Clara, seeing friends and family along the way and many cities, parks, and sites of natural wonder, and also witnessed his daughter, Margaret become a PhD and get married to Ethan Greenberg. He died Dec 27, 2023.
