He played with the Edmonton Oil Kings and Edmonton Pats before starting an apprenticeship with Edmonton Telephones where he became an electrical engineer, moving to management after many years on call 24/7. He retired early and after many years of owning a cottage on the lake in Lac St. Anne, he and his wife bought a 65 acre lot and built a permanent home there in 1992.
Special thanks to the staff at Shepherd’s Care Barrhead where he moved in 2022 to be close to his wife and to Barrhead hospital for his care.
