He shared six years of his life, with Bill Britton, who lived with the family, and was his best friend. Karen Camp, of Claysville, holds a special place in his heart. He had made his home with her family, prior to 1990, and she was like a daughter to him. Prior to his illness, he enjoyed playing darts and softball, fishing, and sight seeing.
