He worked for the TD Bank for 29 years in numerous management positions in Winnipeg, Thunder Bay and Saskatoon, and from 1999 to 2002 for GKG Wealth Management as an Investment Advisor. He took joy and pride in watching and participating in activities with his children, whether it was at the hockey rink, soccer field, or on the golf course.

His determination and courage never faltered. The family wishes to extend sincere thanks to friends and family who provided their support over the past year, and to gratefully acknowledge the staff of 5B at the St. Boniface Hospital for their care, compassion and friendship.
