His life was further fulfilled by following his passion, when he and his wife opened, owned and operated Veterans homes in Greensboro and Ingleside, Maryland.

Later in life as a father, he enjoyed taking trips to the Blue Ridge & Smoky Mountains in Tennessee to share his love of the mountains and camping with his son and daughter.
