He also fulfilled a lifelong dream by obtaining his private pilot's license at the age of 66. He was an avid fisherman, and designed and crafted his own surf fishing rods throughout his retirement. He was an expert marksman with multiple types of firearms, and he enjoyed hunting, primarily upland game and waterfowl, and also successfully competed in skeet and clay pigeon shooting competitions through the 1950's and 60's.
