He was proud to be the first Auto Mechanic to work on the first Honda vehicle in Canada. He was proud to support his customers with high quality work and thoughtful advice. He also had a talent for DIY projects and his prolific vegetable garden and fruit trees. Maurice enjoyed travel and current events, and visited the Caribbean, the U.S., Europe and various regions of Canada during his life.
