He was one of the founding members of the Middleton Optimist Club where he served as Secretary/Treasurer and President. He was a member of the American Bar Assn. until his recent death. He was a die-hard Packer and Badger fan. He grew up going to Packer games and even watched their practices from his high school class room. He very seldom missed watching a Badger game. He was an avid outdoorsman who especially enjoyed fishing Lake Michigan, Door County, and camping and fishing in Canada with his family. He enjoyed pheasant hunting with his favorite companion "Zulu". He liked playing golf at Pleasant View Golf Course and played in leagues for many years.
