He was a man of many interests. He did lapidary work, made jewelry and collected mineral specimens that were donated to the California Academy of Arts and Sciences when he retired in the 1970s. His collection included some quartz specimens he collected from an abandoned gold mine he found on property he purchased in Nevada City, California in the 1960s.

He had an interest in ancient Egypt and was a self-educated expert in the subject.
He spent his retirement years traveling between Mexico and Oregon. He went fishin'. Unfortunately on the Oregon leg of one of his trips a tumor was detected. He was cared for by cousins in Oregon before he passed on.
