Mom and Dad made numerous lifelong friends while living in Belmont Park, then moving to Langford. They shared a love of curling and spent many a Friday night at the Juan de Fuca Curling Club. While living in Sooke both Mom and Dad became members of the Broomhill BC and proudly volunteered at the Sooke Legion. Dad also spent many hours volunteering with the Sooke Salmon Enhancement Society, a project that was dear to his heart. When Mom and Dad moved to Courtenay, they both continued to golf playing at Glacier Greens. Dad then went on to play at the City of Comox GC. They both made many friends at both clubs.
