He liked watches and had collected many over the years and furnished everyone close to him with watches. He liked square dancing and was president of his dance club. He loved animals and was a frequent visitor to the animal shelter just to give a little attention to the animals there and he had several pets that he took loving care of during their lives and they loved him.
