While stationed at Dover Air Force Base, he met his wife, Lorraine, on a blind date. Travis spent most of his career working as a mail carrier for the US Postal Service, but he also worked as a salesman for Home Beneficial Life Insurance Company. He enjoyed walking his daily route in town and serving the public. He even received an award from the Seaford Police Department for stopping a crime while on his route. He retired from the post office in 1996. After retirement, he kept busy working as a driver for Delmarva Transportation.
In his younger years, Travis enjoyed singing barbershop harmony and was a member of the Chorus of the Nanticoke, performing in their annual shows. Travis was very active with the Nanticoke Senior Center and was instrumental in their transition to their current location. He also delivered Meals on Wheels and served on their Board of Directors. He was also a member of Concord United Methodist Church. Travis was an avid sports fan and enjoyed following the Baltimore Orioles, Washington Commanders, and Ohio State University.
