He enjoyed fishing in the Poconos with his family, and deep-sea fishing with the Rider Ave Fishing Club. He also golfed, playing in H&R Block and Valentino's Café Golf Outings. He also played on the Blockers Volleyball Team. Clint enjoyed basketball. He served as manager of the York Junior College Basketball Team and watched the F&M Diplomats Basketball Team regularly.
