When he was not outdoors he spent countless hours in his barn with his closest friends. He loved motorsports. He extremely enjoyed motocross bikes, rebuilding three wheelers and snowmobiling. He also had a mild wild side. He was renowned to be the party at any event and was loved by all who crossed his path. He loved his family very much and love spending time camping swimming and sitting by the fire sharing stories.
