Ditto had a great love for the outdoors and spent many pleasant hours with his daughter Athena fishing from the bank of a river, marching through fields and woodlands in search of game and adventure, and trapping.

He was a proud supporter of the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Browns and could be found watching the game with his beloved beagles whenever he could.
