He loved watching Westerns, Law & Order, and college football while supporting his favorite teams UCLA and USC, listening to music while dancing and singing, taking care of his yard, going on long daily walks and talking to neighbors along the way, playing Gin Rummy on his computer, caring for his soul-dog Mia, reading novels by John Grisham, being surrounded by family and friends, and telling stories about his life such as memories of him and Betty going dancing, his time in the military, and the crazy things that he and his best friend/brother-in-law Richard Dunn did.
