I was born in Erith, Kent, United Kingdom on January 26, 1952.
My family emigrated to Canada in 1963 when I was 11. We sailed on the Empress of France.
We arrived in Montreal, Canada where we lived for three months. From there we moved to a small basement apartment in Port Credit, Ontario, right on Lake Ontario.
In about 1965 we moved to our first house in St. Catharines. We lived there in St. Catharines for 6 years and I attended Public School there.
Several years later we moved to Applewood Acres in Cooksville (now Mississauga) and I attended Westacres Public School and then Applewood Heights Secondary School.
I attended Guelph University in Guelph, Ontario, Canada
Over the years I’ve enjoyed lots of sports including Badminton, Lacrosse, Hockey, Baseball, Football, Wrestling, Boxing, Soccer, Curling, Volleyball, Hunting, Fishing, Skiing, Heli-skiing, Sailing

Thought I’d better have a close up of the first birthday photo.

Here’s me with Gramma Healy on my first birthday.

I’m pretty sure this is me as a baby with Gramma Florence Wordsworth.

Here we seem to jump ahead to my 8th Birthday Party.

You can tell I was the second child when you see how many photos there were of my older sister Hazel as a kid, versus me, the second child.

Here’s Hazel and me on a sled at the St. Catharines house.

Here I am on a bike my parents from England, in front our first house in St. Catharines, Ontario.

Here I am in front the St. Catharines house.

Here I am beside the gravel driveway. Looks like it’s roped off like maybe it’s about to get paved. To the right is a closeup. Took my hat off so the sun’s in my eyes… just wish my hair was still that curly.


Here I am playing in the snow at our house in St. Catharines.

Here I am with the family at 6 or 7.

Here I am with my sister and some friends… in colour!

Here’s another group shot on the couch with more people and me a little older.

Here’s my yearbook photo from 1968.

Here is my 1969 year book photo… at least this time I’m not wearing a tie.

By 1971 I had long hair… which was short lived as I recall.

Some highschool buddies!

Doing my best Don Draper (from Mad Men)

Here I am with one of my first golden retrievers.

Think I’m in my 30’s here.

Out on the sailboat.

Here I am with my Dad on a trip to England.

This was also taken on a trip to England.

Here’s Jessica as a baby.

Here’s Jessica all grown up with me in Florida in 2019.
