She continued after he was fired, he never held any meaningful employment to her knowledge up to his death. She added after he was fired, he used to disappear for two or three months at a time and just go out into the wilderness of Oregon and the state of Washington to be by himself.

She noted he was a "real loner" and had as little to do with other people as he could.
