He became a member of the Heart of Ohio Fish and Game Club within the past year and enjoyed gardening and attending auctions and especially enjoyed playing euchre and pinochle. He took great pride in maintaining the appearance of his home and will be remembered as a jack-of-all-trades and a devoted family man.
