Surviving siblings are brother Dan and sister Marg. Dad worked as an Auto Body painter with Rivers Brothers, St. James Volkswagen and finally Kruse Auto Body. He retired in 1989. Dad built the cottage at Twin Lake Beaches with the help of family and friends in 1977. In 1995 he moved to the lake permanently where he peacefully passed away in his favourite chair. Dad will be forever remembered as the Great Outdoorsman . His years were moulded around the various hunting and fishing seasons. If he wasn't actively involved in hunting or fishing, he was planning his next outdoor adventure or telling us his many stories about them. There were many exotic vacations Dad enjoyed with trips to Disneyland, Hawaii, Barbados and Mexico.
