Both he and Donna attended St. James United Church and took great interest in their programs, Board of Stewards, Food Bank, and purchasing and delivering groceries to Margaret’s House. One of his greatest pleasures was mowing the lawns and watching the deer. He loved getting together each morning at the Superstore with his buddies. Their Kuhn’s Kountry Kottage on the lake provided lifelong friends and many fun times. He especially loved their pet dogs Nicky, Joy and Joey.
