He earned his black belt in Kenpo Karate, liked experiencing new things at local festivals and making improvements in the garden or home. He loved listening to 70s and 80s Rock music, watching movies and playing online/video games. He enjoyed discussing current news topics and made people laugh with his sense of humour which often included a Monty Python reference. During hockey season he enjoyed drinking beer while watching the game with friends.
