He was a member of the St. John First Aid Brigade for many years. He loved to putter in his garden at home and at his cabin in Grand Beach. Dad was an avid golfer and curler. After retiring he took great pleasure in meeting his buddies for coffee every morning. A funeral mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. with viewing from 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 13, 2011 at Christ The King Church, 847 St. Mary's Road.
