His personality lead him to excel as a catcher in baseball and as a goal keeper in soccer.

May he rest with the angels and know eternal happiness. “Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and forever dear. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."
