When he came home he started his career and worked for forty-five years as an engineer for the Canadian Pacific Railway. Daddy was happiest at the cottage with his family around him, bouncing a baby on his knee and tending to his garden.

Daddy recognized and was grateful for the exemplary care that he received from the team at Sunnybrook.
