He was also past president of the Detroit Area Automobile Dealers Association. He retired in 1987, turning his interests toward purchasing and selling motor yachts. His captain's license let him enjoy his love of boats and water as he made many trips per year to transport the yachts from the Midwest to the Atlantic and back again.
