He found joy in simply being with family and friends, going for ranger rides, hunting, shooting, winning nickels playing sheepshead, telling Ole and Lena jokes, vacationing in Shawano, roasting pigs, drinking a cold beer, throwing the bumper for his puppy Lucy, and listening to polka music and classic country tunes.
