One of His first jobs in Regina was working with a fur storage and sales company. He drove a Van loaded with the fur coats. He loved being with people and sales was a natural to him. Also recall his conversations about working for the Hudson's Bay Co. up north. He would grade the furs as they came in and in turn they would pick up supplies. It amazed me as the sales where mostly no cash deals, a barter system. He talked about the spectacular Northern lights at night.
He loved racket sports, really good at it and don't think I ever won one a game with him. He was still playing in tournaments in his early years in Calgary. Darts was another passion, he joined a league and spent many a evening with them.
In Calgary, I boarded at his place for a while and enjoyed the kids, Paul and Terry. Meet my former wife through them and recall a lot of happy times together, especially Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving dinners.
This is before he met Elsie.
And thank you Elise for sharing some of your time with him. Last I seen him, I had coffee with him maybe 7 years ago. Lost his # and never keep in touch. The last several years I tried to get in touch but it never materialized. Rather regret it.
But still have the memories. I miss his sharp wit and the good times we had. Rest in peace my friend.
