He hunted with the Shirt Tail Hunt Club and Leesburg Hunt Club. He was also a member of the Rocky Creek Coon Hunters Association. He was known to his hunting buddies at Savannah River Nuclear Site as Dog Pack #14. His favorite hang outs were Pete’s Bait and Tackle and Charlie’s Bait and Tackle; Where he and his buddies hung out and recounted and relived their hunting and fishing adventures, where never a lie was ever told. He enjoyed cooking and good food but most especially, he treasured his ties with family and friends.
