He was predeceased by his beautiful wife Mary, just 7 months ago. Dad was born in Hairy Hill, Alberta, a proud son of Romanian heritage. At a young age, he served 2 years in the RCAF. He graduated with distinction in chemical Engineering from the University of Alberta. After 17 years of a professional career in Canada and the States, he brought his family back to Edmonton to pursue a career in politics. He was elected as a Conservative MLA for Edmonton Gold Bar, and served as Minister of Environment and Minister of Housing and Public Works. Seeking a greater challenge, he then entered Federal politics as MP for Edmonton East. He was a member of the Senate and Board of Governors of the University of Alberta. He also became chairman of AOSTRA. He had many accomplishments of which to be proud, especially his work on the Canadian Constitution. Dad had a tremendous voice and loved to sing. In his younger years, he was very involved with his community and church. He also was a talented baseball player, golfer and curler. Dad, we will miss your love and wisdom, but will never forget. We love you. Jim, Carol, Janet, Shelley Grandchildren, Jason, Brie, Drew, Brett and April
