We immigrated to Canada from Austrian 1953. He was an accomplished musician and a machinist by trade, holding many positions in his lifetime. He always supported his family with a genuine sense of humor, and left us with many memories that will never be forgotten. We were all very proud of Dad for his gift of music, entertaining many thousands with his fellow band members that made up the Polka Dots . The band entertained during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s throughout Manitoba and parts of the USA. After a debilitating stroke in 1990 caused his early retirement he could only listen to his music with sentimental memories.
