He loved trying out new restaurants and sharing desserts, sometimes pretending to stab a dinner companion with a fork to get the last bite! A relentless chronicler of life, he leaves behind over 100 scrapbooks about his adventures spanning the century. He seldom complained, even in the last couple of years, which presented several health challenges. He was greatly loved and will be missed.
