After graduating from KCI (1952) he enjoyed a long and fulfilling career in the shoe industry. He was Credit Manager for many of the major Canadian shoe manufacturers in Kitchener, being Woelfe Shoes Co., Greb Shoes and Bonnie Stuart Shoes from which he retired in 1995. Faithful member of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Waterloo. Retirement brought many happy years of being a winter Snowbird; first in Florida and then South Padre Island, Texas where he and Nancy made many lasting friendships. As a couple they also enjoyed cruising and road trips over the years throughout various Canadian provinces and the United States. He enjoyed sports throughout his life, both watching and playing; mainly baseball, hockey and tennis. In later years he attended hundreds of his grandchildren’s sporting events where he loudly cheered them on.
