He was an avid reader, a photographer, a history buff who greatly enjoyed comedic, old movies, a skilled pianist, and a dedicated member of the German Club in Newark, DE. He enjoyed woodworking, going to auctions, traveling, spending time at his family beach home, and together with his wife Carol, he took pleasure in bird watching especially on their visits to Arizona and Utah.
