Another thing he enjoyed was a visit to the casino. The greatest love of all was his family. He was dedicated and loyal to organizations he believed in such as the Gore Bay Fish Hatchery and the Royal Canadian Legion - Branch 514 where he played numerous games of euchre with his many friends. He was kind and caring by putting others first while always doing it with a positive outlook. He found good in everyone by always saying "if that was the worst person in the world, the world would still be a pretty good place". The last few years have not been easy for him but he never complained, always making the most out of each day.
