He played an executive role in many local organizations such as the Royal Canadian Legion, Hodgson Branch #158, the Fisher Branch School Board and the Knights of Columbus. Despite his many achievements, one of his greatest gifts was his ability to create. He held two patents for farm equipment. His many hobbies included playing the violin, singing in the church choir, playing hardball and hockey. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, playing cards and curling. In later years he enjoyed trips with Delia, travelling to Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Europe, Yukon and Alaska, Palm Springs for 14 winters, and his last trip was to Mazatlan, Mexico in 1999.
