Even with his busy schedule, it was not acceptable to miss any family event. He was his child, Jason's greatest fan-subtle but ever present. He enjoyed all animals and cared for many cats, dogs over the years. He was an artist in many ways, woodworking, decorating, and building. He enjoyed sports; golf, fishing, watching and listening to the Malta sports teams.

He was involved in many organizations and an avid participant in all. He belonged to the Knights of Columbus and was a lector and sacristan at St. Mary's Catholic Church.
