He loved working for the airlines and his second love, softball, was a big part of his life for many years, being one of the top pitchers in the City. After retirement, helping friends, searching for firewood for his wood stove and telling stories to his grandchildren kept him busy.
He will be sorely missed by all his family and friends, along with the many squirrels and birds he fed in his neighbourhood. A Celebration of Life was held at Seasons in the Park, Queen Elizabeth Park,
