Dad was always available to assist others. In his early married life he spent numerous days coaching little league baseball and hockey at Glenlee Community Club. His passion for community spirit led him to be President of the club and take on the job to rebuild the hall in the 1960s. Dad was also a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles No. 3870 for a number of years. His main claim to fame was being the caller for bingo. Dad also loved the outdoors, especially fishing and enjoying his cottage at Lac Du Bonnet. Every November it was time to visit Melita and participate in deer hunting. But everyone knew it was his excuse to visit family and friends, tell stories of old times, and have dinner across the border. Dad started his life career in construction with Bird Construction. Rising from a carpenter apprentice to Project Superintendent, he spent 44 years in the industry. His overall pet project however, was the Monarch Life Building on Broadway which he always said he was on from the start to the finish. Dad represented the company in Swan River, Thunder Bay, and many other Canadian locations. Also he was involved with the special projects division at Bird in the 1970s and 1980s working with clients on projects such as Hudson Bay House and Continental Can. His clients respected his honesty, attention to detail, appreciated his sub trades and his commitment to their expectations. Memorial Service for Dad will be held on Wednesday, July 25, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. at Green Acres Cemetery, #1 Highway East at Navin Road.
