His avocation was that of general contractor in San Angelo, Sonora, and Ballinger. Over the years he remodeled many homes. In 1987, he was appointed head of volunteer crews that redecorated, remodeled and "quick-built" over 50 Kingdom Hall projects in Texas, New Mexico and California. He found much enjoyment in this work. This gave honor to his God, Jehovah, and provided attractive places for true worship in the Western region.
