Baji loved Superior and the surrounding areas. Hunting, fishing, camping, snowmobiling, and skiing, were a few of his passions, and he enjoyed sharing these experiences with his kids. He spent every minute he could with his life-long friends from his university days. He was always telling stories which went on and on and on, you were lucky if you got a word in.
