Together they raised two children. After his retirement from Tecumseh, he enjoyed being outdoors, fishing, working in the yard and raising a garden. He loved his visits with his brother and sister. One of his favorite past times was sitting on the front porch of his old childhood home, waving at neighbors as they passed by.
