He tutored his son in basketball, volleyball, baseball, and golfing. In later life, he returned to the sport he loved, golfing. He enjoyed tremendously his golfing trips yearly to the neighbor islands with family and lifetime friends. His family, relatives, and friends will miss his good, loving, and joking nature and his generosity.
