He could often be seen in the same front row seat cheering them on. Bus trips to the casino, playing cards, handing out candy, midnight malts (shh… grandma didn't know about these), attending dirt track races (particularly at Plymouth), ice fishing, feeding the birds and giving a tour of his yard were some of favorite hobbies.
