He also enjoyed watching episodes from Matlock, he would chuckle and repeat the memorable quote, “My, My, My,” a testament to his light-hearted humor and warmth. His playful spirit also led him to collect miniature Hot Wheels, a hobby that brought out the child in him, showcasing his vibrant personality.
