After many years in Wisconsin, he describes passionate loyalty to the Green Bay Packers, complete with hats, T-shirts, and sweat shirts, win or lose.
In the family's own words
I’ve always been interested in all sports. When reading the paper, I turn to the sports page first. I have been to a few Green Bay Packer games and quite a few Wisconsin Badger Games. I enjoy watching football, baseball, hockey, basketball, and golf in person or on TV. During the 90’s my son, Steve, and I attended Milwaukee Bucks Basketball games on a regular basis, (I do not watch W.F.W., but before we had a TV when I was little, I remember Dad taking us to Iris and Bill’s apartment to watch wrestling on TV. Argentine Aroca was our favorite wrestler in those days. Having lived in Wisconsin for many years, the Green Bay Packer football team has become a religion. We live and die every game. We wear the hats, the T-shirts, and the sweat shirts. Win or lose, we are all die- hard Packer fans around here. We love our Packers!
