In his younger years, he was catcher for Pocomoke in the Eastern Shore Baseball League and is remembered as such at the Delmarva Shorebirds Stadium. He was also inducted into the Eastern Shore Baseball Hall of Fame. He enjoyed golf and friendships at Winter Quarters and Nassawango Clubs. He also enjoyed immensely his morning visits to Hardee's to see his friends and learn what was happening in their lives.
