Born on April 18, 1923, Dad lived his whole life in Ile-des-Chenes, MB. After retiring from a long career with the CNR, Dad and Mom enjoyed many happy years and trips together. Dad was a special person who will be remembered for what he did and for whom he was. He was a loving and caring man who took pride in his family and community. He was very hard working but always found time for humour, good music and the company of others. Dad's legacy to us are the values that he has shared through his solid example and modelling. As a father, grandfather and friend, they did not come any better than him. We miss him dearly already. Funeral Mass will be celebrated by Fr.
