He was also a member of the Central Masonic Lodge #442, where he held the highest honor of being a 32nd degree free mason.
He loved spending his years after retirement at his home in “God’s country”. He especially enjoyed spending his time there with his children and grandchildren fishing and watching the sunset from his back porch.
