He enjoyed many things in life, pitching for the Port Arthur Red Sox and especially enjoying his 25 years of retirement doing all the things he loved.
From gardening, fishing, shooting and hunting at his much loved Ponderosa. Joining the gun club in 1972 brought many years of enjoyment and many great friends. He especially enjoyed the Tuesday and Friday coffee club where they could solve all the world’s problems.
