From there, he went on with Trader's Finance then General Motor's Acceptance Corporation until retirement. He loved music and was active with St. Ignatius Church Choir Men's Philharmonic Choir for some years. His love of planes gave him the opportunity to enjoy volunteering with the Western Canada Aviation Museum in the Western Canada Library Archives, earning an Honorary Life Membership. His participation and affiliation with the Winnipeg Philatelic Society earned him a W.P.B. Distinguished Service Award in 1989. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Winnifred (Wyn); son Kenneth (Linda); two daughters, Kellie of Winnipeg and Peggy Mayo Chipman (John) of Huntsville, Ontario, and family in Winnipeg.
