He was a 4th degree knight of the William Penny Chapter #2181.

He was also the President of the Residents' Council at The Meadows.

He could play so many instruments, all by ear, and the guitar was always close at hand.

He enjoyed playing for seniors and fundraisers with Vic and the Boys, and the Knights' choir, and was always ready to entertain us at any time.

He worked as a chef for 29 years on the Bluenose Ferry and operated a catering business with his wife Bev.
