Dad was born on December 22, 1942 in Winnipeg Manitoba. At the age of 19 he was working for Goodwill when he met his beloved wife and partner Anita at a local coffee shop during his lunch break. Soon after that they began to build a life together where over the years he had many jobs which lead him to delivering milk for Royal Dairies, Crescent Creameries. As a hard working individual dad found the time to build and run a hobby farm to provide further for his family, finally ending up at Kildonan Place Mall where he retired as a maintenance personal. During his retirement years he enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren wood working and tinkering around the house and cutting grass on his John Deer. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. The family would like to thank the first responders and all medical staff that were involved in his care.
