He also enjoyed gardening and taking care of his fruit trees. He worked with the Boy Scouts back in the 60's and was a Boy Scout as a young man. He liked to take pictures and develop them in his bathroom. He will be missed by all of his family but we know that he is well now after a lengthy illness.
