He was very proud of the time he served with the United States Navy as well as the 40 years he worked for the McDonnel Douglas Corporation and Boeing. In his leisure time he enjoyed fishing, reading and spending time with his family. He particularly enjoyed the summers he spent with his family in Wisconsin, which he called “God’s country”, a tradition started by his father when he was a young boy.
