In Winnipeg, he spent 27 years at Air Canada, most of his days consisted of travelling to Gimli where he enjoyed farming, hunting, fishing and tending to the family gardens. He appreciated the simple things in life, he loved to play the accordion, dance to good polka music and watch old western movies.
