In his leisure time he spent many hours on his favorite pastimes, which included art, travel, golf, UW sports and the Green Bay Packers.

His love for, and devotion to, his family were matched only by the pride and joy they felt in calling him their husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and uncle.
