He was a devoted Roman Catholic and also an honourary member of the Knights of Columbus. Mass will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 31, 2008 at St. Eugene Parish, 1007 St. Mary's Road.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Victoria General Hospital for their kindness towards dad. We would also like to thank the staff at St. Adolphe Personal Care Home for welcoming him in his new home, though his stay was very short. He really liked it there.
