He enjoyed driving truck and serving Carroll County as a Deputy for the Mounted Patrol and Sheriff’s Patrol. He served as a Fairhaven Township Trustee, and attended the Fair Haven United Methodist Church. He enjoyed horses, boating, fishing, hunting, vacationing, riding his Harley-Davidson, and spending time with his children, grandchildren and great-grandson.
