One of his passions was playing drums. He played drums in several bands in Omaha, including Mister E and the Stringless Kite, which cut an album of original music. He was an avid reader and enjoyed experiencing music, attending numerous concerts across the country, including at Red Rocks, Sandstone, and the Gorge. Volunteering where he could help the less fortunate at places such as the Open Door Mission and soup kitchens was also a passion of his. Giving to those in need was a way of life for him.
