Kennedy was a very social person who enjoyed parties and gatherings with his club members. Every Sunday he looked forward to meeting with his fellow retirees which he called his "McDonald's buddies". They would meet up at a McDonald's restaurant where they shared jokes, told stories and laughed to no end. Some of his hobbies and interests included gardening ( cultivating different species of lemon trees) and collecting baseball caps. He enjoyed fine wines and traveling via cruise ships where he would indulge his foodie cravings.
