Muggs loved being in the outdoors camping, hunting, and fishing. His favorite being everything to do with fishing. He ran and owned a halibut charter for several years out of Deep Creek, Alaska. He loved fishing on the Kenai where he once caught a 78-pound King Salmon. Muggs returned to Washington State late in his life to finish his career with Local 302. Where he retired. He was a friend to all.

As his oldest brother I hope that Muggs is sitting somewhere with a fishing rod in his hand.
