Travis loved sports.  From a very young age, he absorbed sports information and statistical data like a sponge.  By the time he reached adulthood, Travis had acquired a vast knowledge of sports from every genre.  He enjoyed lively banter as well as in-depth sports conversations with anyone who would listen.  Travis was especially passionate about his favorite teams, the Philadelphia Phillies, Penn State, and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Per his family’s wishes, a celebration of life event will be held at a later date.
