In 1968 they moved to Winnipeg and Alvin went to work for Dominion Bridge and then Bridge and Tank Western until the company closed. He semi-retired to help Emma with her daycare. Alwin loved to take care of his yard and garden every year and was well known in the neighborhood as he looked after everyone elses too!
