Lucky had many passions; master carpentry on many commercial and residential projects such as the Richardson Building and St. James bridge, fine furniture and wood working. He loved to build. Another great love was his cottage and retirement home that Mom and Dad built at Sunset Beach on Lake Winnipeg. He loved to travel. Mom and Dad went to Texas and Florida many times, but Hawaii was his passion. He felt it was paradise. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren put the sparkle in his eye.
