He started the Ride for Sight in Manitoba, the Motorcycle Toy Run in Manitoba, and the Motorcycle Blood Donor Clinic in Manitoba. He was actively involved in all aspects of the automobile and motorcycle hobbies over the years and derived no end of pleasure from not only the hobbies themselves but also the many individuals and members of the various clubs and associations that he was associated with.
