He was a big supporter of the children’s sporting events in elementary, jr. and sr. high school. He coached the Damn Yankee’s women’s softball team which his 3 daughters and 2 sisters played on. He enjoyed softball, golfing, bowling, and fishing. He especially enjoyed the annual trip to Mesquite Nevada, which included plenty of video poker, golf, and companionship with his fellow golfers. He felt it was his duty to collect tips for the staff by tapping on a bucket. All golfers knew once they heard the tapping, they then needed to pull their money out.

He enjoyed watching Family Feud, the Weather Channel, News, and any sporting events. He even enjoyed watching Wrestling, which the family would attend at the Denver Coliseum.
