In later years, he took great pride in woodworking projects for his grandchildren. Playing cards was one of his favourite pastimes as well as watching sports. In 1997, he retired to Agape Villa in Southdale where he made many new friends. The family extends heartfelt gratitude to family and friends for their support and prayers. Special thanks to Dr. C. Hildahl and the nurses and staff of the Palliative Care Program. Funeral mass will be celebrated by Fr. Mark George at the Ste.
