Some of the things he loved to do included spending time with his family and RV-ing with his wife, being active in several local clubs. He also enjoyed being in the Elks and spending his mornings at the local hardware store drinking coffee and spending time with his "buddies". He also looked forward to spending his winters in Arizona with his wife and mother.
