He was an excellent swimmer and spent summers being a lifeguard and teaching swimming lessons at the local pool in Rifle. He also enjoyed time indoors with family and friends playing cards, board games, and playing Cribbage. He enjoyed concerts, loved music and was a great dancer. He also enjoyed air shows with an intense interest in any and all aircraft, especially helicopters. Above all, he loved spending time with family and friends, always up for a backyard BBQ.
