He was inducted into the Friends of Lakeshore Hall of Fame at Lakeshore Municipal Golf Course in 2014. He relished sharing his devotion to golf with his children and grandchildren which included taking his grandkids to Lakeshore to play golf or caddy. He played at Lakeshore for over 65 years. After the closure of Lakeshore, he spent his later years at Lake Breeze Golf Club in Winneconne, WI with his golfing buddies.
