After his retirement, he drove cars for dealerships, enjoyed two coffee groups, including the Bakery/Magpie and his Saturday group downtown, played cards with his nickel and dime poker buddies, and really liked to talk with people everywhere. He was a very active member of the First United Methodist Church, where he served as trustee, treasurer and many church activities and projects, including getting the pew cushions, the Lion’s Club, where he was Past president, enjoyed popping corn, and selling mints, the Elks Lodge as Chaplain, and the American Legion, where he served as Post Commander, and other offices. He also enjoyed making lefse and distributing poppies. His goal in retirement was to do one productive thing a day.
