He enjoyed playing baseball, football, tennis, kickball, volleyball and ping pong with his children and grandchildren and getting together with family and friends. His passion was riding his motorcycle with Joy. He loved listening to music and playing the drums. He also enjoyed skiing, tubing and cruising on the boat with the family which made his summer days exciting.
