In 1952, he traveled to England to pursue a career in medicine. He received a BA at Trinity College, Dublin, then was accepted as a Medical Student in University College, Dublin.

In 1964, he emigrated to Canada, where he was employed by the U of M as a Research Technician, for the Dept. of Pharmacology. A short time after Angela was born (Winnipeg). He then reunited with his brothers and sisters in Canada, after the death of his parents. In 1996, after 32 years, he retired from the U of M, having published over 100 research papers. He continued to work on his landscaping and gardening, in which he took great pride. He was well loved and highly respected by all who knew him, and was often asked for advice and help, which he gladly gave. He will be greatly missed.
