He was a member of Phi Chi social fraternity, Phi Beta Kappa, and Sigma Xi. He enjoyed target shooting, hunting, fishing, and traveling. During an extended power outage during the Blizzard of 1993, he fell at his home while alone and was unable to maintain the fireplace. He had died from hypothermia before help arrived.
