He had fond memories of growing up playing in bands with his friends and brother. He continued his love of music in later years entertaining as a one man band playing the Accordavox. In the early year he worked as a custom officer and continued to graduate for Political Science at Western University in London, Ontario. He then continued to work as professional accountant. He enjoyed running in marathons and was always interested in keeping healthy and fit. As well as his passion for music he cared for horses. Horses made him feel peaceful.

His fondest memories and love was his travels to Hawaii with his sons. He enjoyed the most to spend times with his family and friends and singing songs. Even in his last days he was singing his favorite songs from the Beatles.
