Those special times will never be forgotten and will always be in our hearts. Love you dad. His advice and wit with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren was always from the heart. He said what he had to say and right to the point always with a bit of humour. He always wanted the best for his family and tried his best to make this happen. Papa is our special angel.

He was an avid hunter and loved his annual hunting trips with his buddy Ken. He coached Senior A Baseball, lifetime member of the Selkirk Kiwanis Club, member of the Selkirk Curling Club, loved watching sports, especially NHL hockey. Most of all he loved life.
