He spent many enjoyable hours meticulously planning overseas adventures with the friends he traveled with and most recently two European adventures with his nephew, Bill.

He was an active member of The Tuesday Night Men’s group and the 805 Men’s Group at Mountain Christian Church, Abingdon. With these groups he helped organize a food bank. He enjoyed the fellowship of this group of men and opportunity to give back to the community.
