He enlisted in the RCAF in 1943, and proudly served overseas in England until his discharge in 1945. After the war, Dad became a husband, father and enjoyed a 40 year career as a Draughtsman. Almost half of his life was spent in Winnipeg, until 1964 when he moved his young family to Surrey, B.C. Dad loved big band music, playing cribbage, reading, and golf...especially golf; as an avid golfer he played well into his late 70s. He had a big voice, a big sense of humour and almost always had a smile on his face. His was a life well-lived. We love you Dad and will never forget you. Service will be held on Thursday, March 7, 2013, at 2:00 p.m. Valley View Memorial Gardens, 14644 72nd Avenue, Surrey, B.C.
