He was presently employed with Government Infrastructure (Northern Airports and Marine) where he worked as a captain and maintenance technician. He will be especially missed by his grandchildren. He was a man who needed and asked for very little. The family wishes to acknowledge their gratitude to the nurses and doctors at the Selkirk General Hospital and also St. Boniface Hospital.
