In 1998 apart from farming daddy worked for Tinkertown and construction companies along side his son Johnny. In 1998 they sold the farm and retired on the homestead. Together they spent many enjoyable days with their children and grandchildren. They loved to travel and have many gatherings with friends and family.

Five months later daddy had a stroke and was sent to numerous hospitals for treatment and rehabilitation. Due to the effects of the stroke daddy could not return home. In December 2002 he moved to the Villa Youville in Ste. Anne, Manitoba where he had excellent care. He passed away November 14, 2008, shortly after being diagnosed with cancer in August 2008.
