He was predeceased by his son Barry, his father and mother John and Julia, his sisters, Helen (Sherman), Margaret (Joe), Julia (Russell), Mary (Tom), Daisy (Peter), Velma (Bill), and Hazel (Harry) and many in-laws, nephews and nieces. He is survived by Dorothy; his daughter Jann Wabick (Len); his son Don (Sandy); his grandsons, Brent (Vanessa), Ryan (Melinda), Adam (Kirstin), Tom and Daren and his great-grandchildren, Kierra, John Thomas, and Andrew.
