outdoors, fishing, baseball/softball and soccer. He volunteered as a youth baseball and softball coach
for 15 years. He met his wife through bowling.
He loved his Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Braves, if you needed to know anything about these two teams
he either knew the answer or would look it up. He was also a fan of the Seattle Mariners, and he watched
the Seahawks for his wife.
He had a passion for music, tried to learn the electric guitar, his favorite bands were KISS and Queen,
he could answer any question you had about either band and their band members, he is now in heaven with

Freddie leading the band but he was very impressed!
