While working full time for the city he also worked as a contractor, building 17 houses in the course of his career. He lived his faith which was exemplified in his life. He was very active in his church, Calvary Temple, singing in the choir, quartet, radio group and Faith to Live By. He was one of the original builders of Calvary Temple Youth Camp. After building a family cottage at Manhattan Beach Camp on Pelican Lake he became an active member of the planning committee. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather (Papa) and great-grandfather. His family was very important to him and always came first. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren were a source of great joy. He loved travelling with his wife Grace and spending time at the cottage with family and friends.
