He played the violin with many musical groups, both abroad and here in Canada. He also conducted the Sudbury Symphony Orchestra from time to time. He was a connoisseur of art in its many forms, including paintings, sculptures, etc., being an avid collector. He worked as a physician (Internal Medicine), having obtained his degree in his home country of Hungary (nee Budapest) and then here in Canada, settling in Sudbury in 1957.
