He was a member of the Naples JCs, East Naples Rotary, Big Cypress Nature Center and the National Rifle Association. He was not a member of any church but he believed in the almighty.

He liked to work with his hands, sell something he was sold on, make people smile, do something just a little bit dangerous, different or challenging.
