Some of his favorite past times were driving to Wild Rose for the weekend with his daughter and the Hoernke family, staying home and watching Walker Texas Ranger with Tamara, and playing Powerball Lottery weekly. He enjoyed cooking homemade tenderloins and fresh crab legs, putting butter on his pizza, and washing it all down with an ice-cold freezer glass of milk.
