He was a self taught artist and well-known for his distinctive decorative Pennsylvania Dutch folk art painting on chairs, children's furniture, and other unique and treasured items. A car enthusiast, Aaron and his friends spent many hours in his garage restoring cars. He was also an accomplished drag car racer in the 50s and 60s.
