Going south in the winter months after retirement was something he really enjoyed. His favorite hobby however, was restoring automobiles. He restored dozens of automobiles, mostly classics. This was a passion that started when he was quite young. His Uncle Isaac was an auto-mechanic in the "Model T" days.
