Aubrey was a man of strong mind and body, he enjoyed competitive power-lifting, he was an avid chess player and member of the Chess Federation of Canada, spent many hours playing crib and tarabish, loved working outside in his yard, he loved to tell stories and had a great sense of humour. Most of all Aubrey loved spending time with his family.
