He was an avid reader and loved a good audio book. He enjoyed traveling and seeing new places as well as helping others which led him to go on several different mission trips with his church during his adult life. He also loved music and was an excellent singer. He and his wife, Barbara, married in 1985 and they enjoyed family vacations, playing golf, playing bridge, being involved in church activities, and spending time together. He had a wonderful and playful sense of humor and a great love for all people and was always known to brighten any room.
