In the Early 80’s he was involved in the development of Lacombe Park East in St. Albert, and served on several City of St. Albert committees. He was an avid sports fan and thru the years, was active with horses and horse shows. He was a member of the Glendale Golf Club. He loved his time at Seba Beach over 53 years in the summers where he enjoyed sailing; and where there was wonderful family time shared with Mary and their two children; followed by the grandchildren, and now, great grandchildren.
