He was a member of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 238, Ear Falls, Ontario. Dad worked hard all of his life, first with the C.N.R., then as a car salesman, going on to build his family business Lac Suel Airways in Ear Falls, Ontario, making many friends over years following. He sold the business in 1992, afterwards spending the winters in Florida in a house Mom and Dad enjoyed for many years before his Parkinson's forced them to sell the house which they loved dearly.
