He worked in Ottawa for a couple of years then moved to Sudbury where he worked for the Old Bus Lines. In 1959 he joined the Sudbury Fire Department.

Will be missed by his 5 grandchildren whom he never got to know very well due to the vast geography expanse of our beautiful country. Dear son of Charlie and Marie Churchill predeceased. Brother of Ronald (Eva) predeceased of Toronto, Shirley Biddiscomb (Victor) of Logy Bay Road, NL, Winston (Ruby) of Portugal Cove, NL, and Glenys Murphy (Jerry) of Fenelon Falls.
