In 1969, he founded a furniture business with his wife and operated it until near his death. Over a five-year period, he litigated and eventually prevailed against a national furniture chain with a similar-sounding name that wanted him to change the name of his business. For 20 years, he wrote a weekly column in the Winnipeg Free Press. He died at Winnipeg on 4 July 2016. Sources:Obituary, Winnipeg Free Press, 9 July 2016.
