He and his brothers enjoyed barbecuing together after a busy day of helping each other with home projects or just watching football at their parents home. He was a beloved grandfather and great grandfather to his grandchildren. He enjoyed taking them on various activities during their visits, which included going to McDonald's, to the park, and movie time with a big tub of popcorn!
