In his younger years he enjoyed boating, fishing, hunting, dominoes, cards, football (especially OU), the Thunders Basketball and woodworking. Even since having been confined to a wheel chair he would still be the loudest in the room cheering his team; or if you were against his team cheering your team to lose. He would get the greatest enjoyment telling about the times spent with his Brother in Law, Bill Kindt, hunting and boating.
