Dad was born in Fork River, where he spent the early part of his life and where he farmed. He later moved to Ochre River, where he owned a garage and then moved to Winnipeg, where he owned a grocery store. He was employed by Northstar Oil and Moores Taxi until he retired. He enjoyed traveling, attending social functions with family and friends and driving his friends when needed. We have many fond memories of the times Grandpa would take us downtown shopping, to the movies, the trips to the farm and his weekly visits to our home as we were growing up. He loved spending time with his family, especially his great-grandchildren. Gigi always had refreshments ready for visitors, and he was always a part of our family gatherings. In December the family gathered together to be with him to celebrate his 101st birthday. A special thanks to the staff of St. Josephs Residence, Misericordia Health Services W3, Home Care and to the staff of Seven Oaks Hospital 4-U5 for their loving care and compassion.
