He was an avid golfer and member of the Brandywine Country Club where he was once a caddie as a young boy. He loved the outdoors, hunting, and hiking at his family cabin in Lycoming County, PA. He was most proud of his family and cherished time spent with them. He enjoyed attending sporting events of his children and grandchildren and was a true Eagles and Phillies fan.
