His avocational interests involved sculpture and the outdoors. He founded the Rhoneymeade Arboretum and Sculpture Garden in Potter Township, Pa., near his home in Centre Hall, Pa.

He is survived by his sons, Nicholas ’75 and Caleb; sister Diana Olcott; five grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
