In 1974 they moved back to Brandon and he began working for Simplot Canada until his retirement in 1994. Clare also ventured into other businesses. Along with Dorothy and Cory he operated a Yogen Fruz from 1989 to 1992. Clare enjoyed carpentry and woodworking which he used to build numerous garages, decks, kitchen cupboards, furniture, poker tables, bird houses and funeral urns. He also did some bookkeeping and taxes. Clare had a great love of life and sports. Summer days were spent on the golf course; fall and winter he could be found at the curling rink. If Clare wasn’t playing sports he was watching them on TV, especially his beloved Blue Jays. Many Friday nights the Colquhoun family would play poker, sometimes all night. Dorothy and her family would like to thank all of the staff in Palliative Care at the Assiniboine Centre, Brandon General on 400 and Intensive Care, along with Cancer Care for all of the wonderful care and compassion that Clare received while in hospital as well as during treatments.
