He enjoyed his time volunteering at the West Queens Recreation Center catering and doing anything and everything the ladies asked. He enjoyed darts and a good game of crib. He was one of the first  affiliate members of the Mersey Branch #38, Royal Canadian Legion, Liverpool and will always be remembered as a huge Elvis fan.
