- Loves vacationing on Cape Cod

- Makes any dance partner look like Ginger Rodgers

- Has a soft spot for Boston Terriers

- Prefers his beer in a warm glass

- Tells a joke with perfect comedic timing

- Sings "God Bless America" louder than Kate Smith

- His fried smelts and homemade cocktail sauce are to-die-for
