A quiet man of gentle disposition, he was actively interested in the village and its affairs. He was a member of the fire department and served as its chaplain for many years. A lover of the outdoors, who enjoyed both hunting and fishing, he was an active member of the Fish and Game Club, regularly attended their meetings and is warmly remembered by many of the older members.
