He began working as a schoolteacher in 1941, a profession in which he continued until his retirement in 1979. In 1948, he married Hilda Wiebe, who remained the love of his life until his death.

Dad was a very active member of the Steinbach Mennonite Brethren Church for over 25 years, where he served as a lay minister, Sunday school teacher, board member, and choir member, among other areas.

In 1979, Dad and Mom left Steinbach to begin a new adventure in Largo, Florida, where he worked with Project Lookup for over six years, until they moved for the final time to Winnipeg in 1986. After settling in North Kildonan, Dad and Mom spent many happy years together watching their children and grandchildren grow, and actively participating in several different church congregations and ministries.

He placed great importance on being a loving presence in all their lives.
