Papa was an avid Detroit Tigers fan (more so when they were winning) and loved to keep stats and scores from each game. He loved to fish and for years would make his own hooks and ice fishing equipment. He is a member of The American Legion Post #7, Caro, Michigan and partook in the Honor Guard. He was a past member of The Loyal Order of Moose #1049 Caro, Michigan where he spent countless hours volunteering at socials, special events, cook outs and of course, helping to keep things fixed. He was also a long time member of The Tuscola County Archers where he enjoyed practice shoots and socializing. His list of friends is as massive as his loyalty to them. He enjoyed spending weekends just helping out and enjoying "a few cold ones".
