He was well-respected, liked by all who met him, kind, loving, competitive and exceptionally talented at sports. He was passionate about hockey, baseball, golf and washer toss.

He was proud to be from Dominion, Cape Breton and enjoyed his many visits home to see family and friends during Seaside Daze celebrations.
