He followed Nascar, MLB, NFL and college football. His number one team was always Alabama although his grandkids are FSU fans and would gift him apparel to wear for their team. During his retirement years he finally had the time to enjoy watching the races and games all day long.

He loved passing along stories from his youth and jokes he had learned along the way from his years in construction. He worked during the space years at Cape Canaveral and helped build the VAB and several launch pads. He also helped in building Disney World in Orlando. He retired in 2004 after working on the restoration of the pier at Sebastian Inlet.
