If he wasn’t found volunteering with the Royal Canadian Legion Kelligrews Branch 50 or at the CLB Old Comrades Lodge, he would be found on a golf course working on his swing or in the sunny south of Jamaica with his wife.  His dedication to the Legion and the Club where he served as president for numerous years showed his true colors. He served as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces and spoke proudly of his time listed.

We take solace in knowing you have a tee time booked on the greenest of courses with the grandest of views. May your Tee shots be long and your fairways be wide.
