He loved nothing more in life than spending time with his grandchildren, and they loved being with him. He golfed every chance that he got. Golfing and his golf buddies were a highlight every Saturday. Swimming in his pool every day that it was open made him happy. He loved to work around the house, he enjoyed a large get together with family and friends and he was crazy about dogs and his cat. He just came alive when going on a vacation somewhere. Almost every morning of the week, he would meet with his coffee buddies at Tim Horton’s. He loved his job at Waller Corporation and his work was very important to him. He took his two grandsons that live close to him, to Scouts every Monday and Tuesday night and was active with their projects in Scouts.
