Eaton Company in Brandon, for 42 years where many noticed a close resemblance between dad and Santa Claus in many Santa Claus parades. He lived life to the fullest and personified "dont sweat the small stuff". We are deeply indebted to dads extended family at the Lions Manor for their loving care, energy and resilience. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you spend some quality time with someone you care for. Thanks for the memories, Dad! Arrangements are in care of Brockie Donovan, Brandon 727-0694.
