Mom and Dad retired in 1978 and moved to their present home, which became the centre of family gatherings. All of us came to appreciate Dads humour and generosity. Alphonse loved nature and took great delight spending time in his garden. He shared his harvest with everyone. We all feel blessed that our Dad had 90 years of good health. He found great pleasure volunteering at Nova Vista Lodge and was an active member of the Knights of Columbus at the time of his passing. The family would like to extend a Special Thanks to the Nursing Staff at Victoria General Hospital for their loving care; and also to Kevin from Home Care.
