Ira was a member of Calloway Heights Baptist Church where he taught the Friendship Sunday School class for years. He enjoyed singing in the choir and lead the congregational hymns. Ira was a member of Gideon International. As a Gideon, he spoke in churches and distributed Bibles.

Having been raised in a coal-mining community, Ira loved sharing coal-mining stories. His father got Ira a job in the mines at an early age. This interest eventually lead to a mining inspector position at MSHA.

An avid golfer, Ira won numerous golfing tournaments locally and participated at the state level.
