He attended Royal Military College and travelled globally as a helicopter pilot for his career. He built a house and farmed in Arthur, ON. Took up sailing in Steveston, B.C., and returned home to restore his family home and enjoy long walks with his dogs, Tippy and Uber. He was an active member at the Belwood Lake Sailing Club and The Fergus Horticultural Society and volunteered at the Elora Festival. He truly lived fully and with no regrets, a lesson we can all learn from. Family and friends will be celebrating his life at his annual corn roast in August.
