He enjoyed shuffleboard and shooting pool and played many years on leagues all around St. Mary's County. In his younger years he enjoyed hunting and fishing, especially fishing with his son and brothers. He was an avid fan of the Dallas Cowboys. He had a strong family foundation, and often returned to Pennsylvania to visit with family members. He shared a close bond with his brothers, who were all local. He enjoyed family get-togethers and cookouts and was quite the grill master.
