An entrepreneur his entire life, he founded several businesses, beginning with a TV repair shop to eventually establishing the largest auto accessory firm on the East coast. He loved cooking, talking politics, creating village and train displays, cheering on all the Baltimore sports teams, and most of all entertaining his family and friends.
