He started working at Clayton Service from age 13-18, then on to Steele-Nicholson Chev-Olds in Langley in 1953 later to become Preston Chev Olds in 1964. He worked his way up from a parts man, mechanic to salesman to become a Grand Sales Master for over 35 years. A total of 56 years worked until his retirement on Sept 15, 2004 from Prestons. In the 42 years in sales, he sold a total of 9600 new and used vehicles (in his own words MY GOD!!) Dad loved his boats and fishing.
