He was an Eagle Scout at a young age and the passion stayed into his adult life where he served countless years as a Cub Master and Scout Master helping numerus young men to achieve the rank of Eagle, including three of his own sons. He was also decorated with many high honors in Boy Scouts, including The Vigil Honor in the Order of the Arrow and received a symbolic name meaning teacher of knots.
