He was a proud member of the Listowel Gun Club, The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, Ducks Unlimited Canada, and The Fur Harvesters Association. He enjoyed training dogs for field trials and produced many field trials champions. He loved all sports, especially baseball and hockey and proudly cheered Greg\u2019s team to victory.
