Piper was born and raised in Bowmanville. After High School he did a 4 year apprenticeship at General Motors in Tool and Die, and continued his career there for 39 years, travelling for them around the world.

He played with the Bowmanville Electrons when he was young and was an avid bowler, his team winning a Canadian Championship in 1960. He was always busy fishing, hunting, golfing, travelling and , of course, visiting his favourite bars.
