He enjoyed watching animals outside his home including rabbits, deer, and birds. He especially liked “Woody” the woodpecker that would take his seeds and place them between two boards to peck them open and eat the seeds. He loved to go shooting and target practicing. He would watch the news (Fox and Newsmax) and surf the internet daily trying to come up with a solution to the world’s problems (of which he believed there were many). He also enjoyed looking at animal videos, old movies, and watching Dr. Pol on National Geographic Wild.
