Fishing was also a hobby that he enjoyed dearly, he loved gardening and spending time in the woods. He also dabbled in woodworking, making many small projects and some boats. He loved the company of others and made many friends through his volunteer time at his church, the Pleasantville Fire Department, IOOF, and the local cemetery.
