He also enjoyed his one afternoon a week on a local garbage route. Hobbsie had a passion for many things including music, the outdoors, and his sons. He was an avid hunter, hiker, camper, and had a great passion for shooting sporting clays. He poured his heart and soul into every new adventure and everything he did.

During school he was very involved with swimming, the school band and later in life, if there was an open drum set, or a microphone and a band willing to let him, he was up on stage drumming or next to a piano leading a group with a rousing rendition of Billy Joel’s “Piano Man”.
