He was an active member of the St. Vladymir and Olga Cathedral in the late 50s. He was a highly religious man, a devoted husband, father and grandfather who always put his family first. He enjoyed gardening and home carpentry along with many other pastimes. He was unique in that he never attained a drivers license and instead his transportation through his entire life until the age of 86 was his bicycle.
