An American Kennel Club judge and a delegate for 26 years, he was chairman of its board from 1994-95. He also was president of the Dalmatian Club of America and the American Fox Terrier Club, which honored him with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017. A generous philanthropist, he supported many charitable organizations, including the American Red Cross, Erie County 4H, Salvation Army, Catholic Charities and the North Collins Food Pantry in his hometown of North Collins, New York.
