Aside from hobby farming, he retired from the Manitoba Rolling Mills in Selkirk where he worked as a steel worker for 24 years. Although he had moved from the farm in the last couple of years into a seniors block in Selkirk, his heart was never gone from the farm. He enjoyed sitting in front of the wood stove, watching the fire. It gave him great peace during his final days. Cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be held on Monday March 1 at 1:30 p.m. in the Gilbart Funeral Home, 309 Eveline Street, Selkirk. Special thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at the Selkirk General Hospital, Palliative Care Unit, for all their care and concern. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.
