A talented trombone player, he filled rooms not only with music but with warmth and humor. He was a proud fan of all things science fiction and superheroes, where his love for Star Trek, Star Wars, and the Marvel Universe was rivaled only by his devotion to his family. Whether he was sharing his favorite episodes, quoting his heroes, or introducing his children to new stories, his excitement was contagious, and his imagination knew no bounds.
