He took up golfing and played many enjoyable games with friends and he always looked forward to the annual summer golf tournament that brought family and friends together. He never missed a chance to take his grandsons to demolition derbies and was proud to be on hand when his grandson won the Novice Bareback Championship at the Calgary Stampede in 1997.    He will be sadly missed.
