For 63 years Sherwood Lake held a special place in Dad's heart, where he enjoyed fishing, canoeing and the solitude of Sherwood. Many special memories were made over the 23 winters spent in Mesa, AZ hiking, golfing and enjoying happy hour with the Gang . One of Dad's greatest pleasures that he took up in AZ was wood carving. Many of his carvings are cherished by family and friends. Dad proudly served on the HMS Ottawa during the Second World War. After the war, he continued working for the CPR for 43 years until he retired in 1981. In keeping with Dad's wishes there will be no service. A private family interment will take place.
