He was a member of St John’s the Evangelist Church of New Britain, the New Britain Senior Center, the Mattabasett Rifle Club of Berlin and the NRA. He was an accomplished musician and played in the U.S. Army 43rd Division Band and polka bands, such as Walt Solek’s Orchestra, John Dyno’s Orchestra and the Henry Oakley Orchestra to name a few, specializing in the clarinet and saxophone.
