He enjoyed golfing with his brother, Chuck, attending AHS ballgames with his baby brother, Paul, fishing and shenanigans in Phelps, Wisconsin with his brothers and cousins.
In his later years, he enjoyed passing out round to its everywhere he went. He made a friend everywhere. He especially enjoyed shopping at Aldi and Dollar Tree. He would say "never omit a $1 tree".
