He was an active member of the Canadian Board of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and was actively involved in the Christian Medical and Dental Society, of which he became the Canadian Chairman. He was grateful for the support of his wife Adele and his children, Ross Wendell and Judith Elaine.
