He completed his medical training at St. Thomas’s Hospital in London. From 1959 to 1961 Maurice was a Lieutenant in the British Royal Army Medical Corps, serving in Aden and then Malaya. Coming to Canada in 1962, he established a medical practice in Windsor and was a family doctor and a coroner for many years.
