He was a kind, good hearted man who loved his family and enjoyed visiting with them. He and Betty babysat for all 3 of their grandchildren while their parents went to work.

He loved gardening, and had quite a garden in his back yard. He was an amateur radio operator and enjoyed getting cards from people in other countries who he had contacted. He built himself a sailboat and enjoyed sailing it at Eagle Creek Reservoir. He was quite a photographer and took lots of pictures the family will always cherish. He also liked building airplanes and belonged to a club where friends got together and flew them.
He took his family on several vacations, including camping and trips to other states including one memorable trip to Yellowstone National Park. They spent lots of vacations in Florida. Everyone enjoyed the ocean.
He had lots of bird feeders for the birds and liked watching them from the kitchen window. Later in life he enjoyed sitting on the patio rocker with Betty and enjoying nature.
