He worked on the farm with his dad, helping with haying and picking stones, as well as helping his mom gather eggs and milking cows. He loved to fish, which he inherited from his father and would go as often as he could. He also enjoyed picking wild saskatoons, strawberries, and cranberries, but his favourite was picking mushrooms. He played baseball and curled and loved to watch all sports and even had season tickets to the Brandon Wheat Kings. He also loved to watch his kids and grandkids play, and went to as many events as he could.

In 2002, he retired to Hobbs Manor in Brandon, where he lived to present day.
