He was a pilot, an electrician, a fisherman, and an elevator mechanic. He was always willing and able to help all who asked. He was famous for his bannock and everyone loved Poppa's cookies. He loved a good story and a good laugh. He enjoyed family gatherings with the Prudens where there were plenty of both. Dad had a good life and enjoyed it to the fullest. He was proud of his family, especially his children and grandchildren. He was a devoted and loving husband. He missed mom very much and these last few months have been hard on him.
