He obtained his degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Liberec, Czechoslovakia and retired from Cami Automotive in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada. He spent his retirement years travelling with his wife, with whom he recently celebrated 50 years of marriage. Despite all the places he visited, his favourite place was at home among his family.
