- SpousesGlenys Squires(December 18, 1984 - May 15, 2004) (his death, 5 children)?
- Loved cigars and fine scotch and wines. Had at least 88 pipes in his drawer.
- Had boats all his life. He even built and sailed his own sailboat.
- Attended University of Toronto for Chemical Engineering for over a year. Dropped out, much to his father's disappointment, to continue on to what he loved: film.
- Graduated from Ryerson University for Film and TV in 1953.
- His wife, Glenys Maureen Jefferies Squires, kept her name after their marriage for business reasons.
- [on 'Hammy Hamster'] Casting is simple. The animal has to look right and can't be too crazy or wild. Acting talent doesn't figure into it - you can't teach them to act. We've never been accused of being mean to the actors - we treat them with kid gloves. If [Guinea Pig] sneezes he gets immediate medical attention. We have veterinarians on duty at the set. One day we thought Hammy might be having heart problems, so the vet gave him a hamster ECG, and prescribed him some heart medication.
