He loved horse racing at The Fairgrounds in New Orleans and later owned and raced horses himself. He loved college football and was an ever faithful fan of the Alabama Crimson Tide. In his spare time, he enjoyed playing golf and fishing. A gourmet of sorts, he enjoyed good food, well prepared, and he appreciated excellent service. He loved Dixieland Jazz, all New Orleans cuisine, in particular roast beef poboys, red beans and rice, trout amandine and of course boiled crawfish. Barqs Root Beer was a staple in his home. He was a member of the Club Managers Association of America and McIlwain Memorial Presbyterian Church.
