He was predeceased by his parents, Euphamia and John, five brothers and special daughter-in-law Susan. Dad joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1940 and served as a flight mechanic in the 427 squadron. On his return to Canada he married Tilly, the girl next door. For several years he worked with the British American Oil Company, before joining the Winnipeg School Board as a custodian until his retirement. The one thing he loved most in life was telling stories and visiting with people. Throughout his life, Dad enjoyed travelling and spending leisurely summers at the cottage with his family. He was an avid bowler and curler, and was a season ticket holder of the Blue Bombers for over 50 years. He also was a strong supporter of the Jets and the Moose.
