His retirement years saw Dad volunteering for Meals on Wheels, The Israeli Pavilion at Folklorama and driving cancer patients to their appointments. Throughout his life Spud had many interests including travelling with Lil, his condo in Gimli and classical Jazz and Yiddish music; he loved his sports and was a longtime fan of the Bombers; the Goldeyes and CanWest Global Ball Park brought dad much joy and pleasure throughout the summer...the ball park will feel empty without him there.
