He was a member of the Galeton Moose Lodge, the Amvets of Millsboro Delaware, the Dauphin - Middle Paxton Fire Company, and the Halifax VFW.

He enjoyed listening to country music, cheering on Jeff Gordon at all the NASCAR races, and watching the Dallas Cowboys. In his younger years, he could often be found dirt track racing and coaching/umpiring for the Halifax Baseball Little League. Above all else, his family was his world. Watching his grandchildren at all their sporting events brought him great joy.
