    Following that, he settled in with a career as an audio-visual TV specialist for the Dupont Company where he was producer of the engineering department TV news for 31 years.  In his earlier years, Sax enjoyed connecting with people around the world as an amateur radio operator (call sign W3MQC).  He also enjoyed all forms of auto racing and spent 30 years being crew chief and car owner for his son, Steve in Quarter Midget and Micro Sprint racing up and down the East Coast.  Sax was a long-time Secretary of the Blackbird Micro Midget Racing Club as well as being honored with a lifetime membership. In retirement, he enjoyed helping with audio-visual productions, concerts, and special events at QPRC, a job he took very seriously. 
    Sax was a man of faith and had accepted Jesus Christ as his savior as a young boy.  Throughout his life he served behind the scenes in various capacities at whatever church he was attending at the time.  For most of his life, Sax and Carolyn attended Faith Baptist Church in Wilmington, DE until they moved to Quarryville in 2006.
