Tito possessed a myriad of hobbies that enriched his life. He was an avid fisherman, finding peace and joy by the water, and enjoyed competitive domino games that brought out his spirited nature.

An ardent fan of the New York Giants and Yankees, Tito wore his team colors proudly and shared countless moments cheering for his beloved teams. He also found excitement in outings to the casino, where he reveled in the thrill of the game.
