He enjoyed bowling at the Womelsdorf Fire Co., and participated for many years in the PA State Amateur Bowling Tournaments, as well as the national tournaments conducted by the American Bowling Congress. These tournaments involved travel all around the country, and instilled a love of travel. He and Lillian enjoyed traveling to many parts of the world, and especially enjoyed cruising.
He loved baseball, especially the St. Louis Cardinals, and never missed an opportunity to watch his beloved Cardinals.
He was a man of many talents and was always looking to expand his capabilities, whether it involved carpentry, woodworking, electrical work, or plumbing, and was always willing to put these talents to use, as many of our extended family will attest!
