Union, holding various positions including staff representative. He later worked for the U.S.W.A. in Vancouver, Calgary and until his retirement in Winnipeg. Neil and June were active in which ever community they resided. They could often be seen and heard at baseball games or political events, in support of the working person. He enjoyed hunting, but his first joy was golfing. His golfing buddies believe his ever present pipe, which he placed on the ground in front of his ball, to be a directional beacon.
