But his humility and dedication to helping others always impressed me—along with his ability to travel the world and speak different languages."
Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: "As a child it was mint chocolate chip. As an adult, it's chocolate chip cookie dough. My dad's on my mind because of Father's Day—I always think of him when I see rum raisin. It was his favorite."
