As a youth, he enjoyed participating in the Boy Scouts and playing football for the Gorton Wolves, where he made numerous lifelong friends. He loved animals, especially dogs, from Honey, the first dog he had as a child, to Cain, the dog he rescued, to Elsie, Cain's daughter. He was a loving person with a big heart and showed it by doing his best to be there for people around him who he saw needed help.
