An investigation into his death continues.
According to his obituary, the father of two was also a "devoted pépère" who "enjoyed spending time on his boat, listening to music and quiet time reading."
"He loved watching his Leafs lose and the Jays head to the post season," the obituary continued. "Most of all, he cherished every second spent with his beautiful grandchildren."
