After his retirement, he worked for a short time at Home Depot where he helped to open the store at the Cumberland Mall. Later in life, his two sons introduced him to the game of golf and he immediately fell in love. He spent most of his spare time on the golf course, both in Florida and New Jersey. He enjoyed spending time outdoors in the yard or fishing, but his favorite past-time was being with his grandchildren. He also loved hanging out with the "guys" at the Fire Hall in Vineland.
