He loved snow shoeing, bowling, stamp collecting, gardening, playing guitar and harmonica, watching hockey, going for a walk, fishing and computer puzzles. His greatest joy was his family. He was enormously proud of each one, his final words to his grandchildren were “I love you each” and to his great grandchildren, “I wish I could walk in the field with you again”.
