He loved horses and being outdoors, in his later years watching traffic.  He had worked at HB Fuller in Geneva and later retired from Borg-Warner Automotive in Ithaca. He was lovingly known as “Pops” by his family and closest friends, and his witty sayings were unforgettable: “Close enough for government work” seemed to fit most often.
