Predeceased by his wife of 53 years, Audrey Campbell. His career began in Montreal with his father at Randall Company. His continued work in related fields of store fixtures and furnishings necessitated a move to Toronto in 1969. He was a devoted father, reluctant golfer, lover of books and champion of the underdog. In retirement, he travelled, mastered the skill of woodcarving, and enjoyed bowls and bridge with his friends at the Leaside Lawn Bowling Club.
