In his later years he enjoyed work as a security guard. He was predeceased by his parents and one son Alvin. He will be remembered by his brothers and sisters in Alberta; his children, Lynda, Dolores, Lyta, Melanie and Vern from his first marriage as well as Dwayne, Pamela, Kym-Su, their spouses and families. In keeping with his wishes no memorial service was held.
