As a young man he took up carpentry and loved to build houses, he worked all over Northwestern Ontario, spending time in Kenora, Atikokan and lastly Fort Frances where he enjoyed spending his time watching his sons play hockey. He was very family orientated and always put his children first. He loved spending time with them. He was outgoing, humorous and brutally honest. You always knew where you stood with him.
