He had a fondness for sadistic practical jokes.
The Telegraph reports that his pranks could range from fairly harmless to sadistic and humiliating.

On the mild side, he would recruit a co-conspirator, and ride with that person in a crowded elevator while telling a tantalizing story loud enough for everyone to hear; then, he would exit the elevator just before getting to the punchline of the story, leaving the other riders confused and frustrated.
