He farmed for many years in Saskatchewan before retiring. He assumed many roles which included being a member of school board, political party, credit union, museum, senior's club, Legion and local baseball team. In 2004 he moved to Winnipeg where many adventures awaited him. He loved spending time with his family, the outdoors, going to the casino, playing crib and a good T-Bone steak. Gido loved all animals and we know his granddogs will miss the treats he snuck them. The family expresses their appreciation to the staff of the Middlechurch Home for their friendship and loving care to dad during his last year. Funeral services will be at St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church in Sturgis, SK, November 9, 2006. Rest in Peace
