He was born in Windsor, Ontario and during his childhood moved to Walkerton, Goderich and London. He was an avid sportsman, running cross country, playing hockey, basketball and baseball. He worked as a meat manager for Loblaws until his retirement in 1999, and then pursued more relaxing pastimes such as camping, travelling, music jamborees, card games, and family gatherings. During these times he could be found enjoying a drink with family and friends. He also enjoyed curling, and acted as the property manager for the Woodstock Choralaires, which took him and Donna overseas on numerous trips. They also enjoyed pulling their fifth wheel trailer and motor home, exploring the east and west coasts of Canada and Northern Ontario.

In his later years, he overcame many health obstacles with a tenacious spirit. He will be remembered by friends and family for his kindness, warmth, humour, and patience.
