He played the violin and piano. At anniversary concerts, he conducted the choir of the Ruska Besida Society in Ternopil. He was friends with Ivan Franko, corresponded with Mykhailo Pavlyk and other progressive cultural and educational figures.

In 1903, an artistic monument of white marble was erected on his grave in the village of Bila, which was brought from Florence at the expense of his daughter Solomiya; the epitaph reads: "To the best husband, the best father, honor to his mind, honor to his heart".
