Dad was born on May 16, 1943 and grew up in Niverville. He met Dorothy in 1965 through mutual friends, they married on June 3rd 1967 in Winnipeg. Dad was a car enthusiast, we would hear many story’s about his 58 Merc and countless other cars he owned over the years. Dad also had a passion for his yard and would spend many an hour working with his tractor on their country property tilling, mowing and snow blowing.
Our family would like to extend our appreciation to the staff at Bethesda Regional Health Center for their excellent care and compassion and to all the friends and family that came to visit.
Dad will be cremated and his ashes will be laid to rest at a later date.
