He was employed at numerous places throughout his life as an automotive parts dealer with his last position being at Bird Kultgen Ford. He was a gun enthusiast and enjoyed hunting, fishing, disc golf, and an avid collector of the best of anything from junk shops. He left a lasting impression on all those whose paths crossed his and will be deeply missed.
