Les moved from Cypress River to Winnipeg where he owned a cartage business and later worked for Winnipeg Transit. In 1964 they moved to Lundar to farm. Les drove school bus for several years. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, guiding, travelling and restoring John Deer tractors. Dad was often called upon by neighbours to help repair their farm machinery, which he did willingly.
