He loved living in the country watching deer from the porch and seeing the family of gray martins / swallows that visited hatching a couple of nestlings each year. He loved his dog Patty. He loved fishing and hunting. He enjoyed polka music and watching war movies and eating goodies despite his later life Diabetes issues.
