He served on the Board of the Galveston Seafarer’s Center, and the Elisa – A tall ship for Texas Committee, and the Galveston Boat Club. He was a life member of Trinity Episcopal Church. He loved working on the Ball High School Class of 1962 reunion committees. He valued close personal relationships and it was very important to him to bring together friends he had know from Kindergarten through High School. He loved woodworking and built a “tiny house” for his deer lease years before “tiny houses” were a popular thing. He also built a play house for his first granddaughter.
