He always remained close to his birth family. He later moved to Moncton where he began his career at the Moncton Hospital as an orderly. He has had many roles at the hospital including ambulance driver and nurse assistant until in 1965, where he was given the opportunity to create a new Electro diagnostic (EEG) department with the Moncton Hospital. He remained as head of department until his retirement in 1992 after 36 years of service. After his retirement, he devoted his life to help other people by volunteering to the Moncton Hospital, Moncton HeadStart, Maison Nazareth, Club d’Age d’Or de NDG, Curl Moncton (Beausejour), Rogers TV, ETC.
As a devoted father, he enjoyed spending time with his family and later with his grandkids. He enjoyed the outdoors with camping and building his beloved cottage. The cottage was his heaven and place of relaxation during the summer months. He enjoyed all sports including curling, skiing and hockey. He was a coach in the Moncton Minor Hockey League where he was well known as Cam. He loved teaching kids the value of sportsmanship and teamwork in the Atom and Bantam leagues. A very tech savvy individual, his passion was keeping up to date with the latest technology in computers and programs. He loved investigating his past through genealogy programs.
