He was very handy, always remodeling and fixing things. His hobbies also included woodcarving and gardening.

He always enjoyed spending time with his parents and in the last years appreciated antiquing with his mom and driving her wherever she needed to go.

He was an avid golfer and loved to hunt, fish and play pool.

He had several special feline friends; Kirby was among his favorites.
