Mourning his loss is his wife of 47 years Debbie (Jamieson); his children and their spouses, Brian & Jillian (Lines) and Krista and Alex Ryan. His pride and joy were his grandchildren, Devon Northrup, Kennedy Northrup, Kaleb (Lines), Brayden and Shealynn Waterhouse, Chantelle (Kyle Foster) & Adriana Ryan; brothers, Ron (Marilyn) and Don Northrup; sisters, Sharon Allen and Cathy (Randy) Hitchcock; brother-in-laws, David (Pat) Jamieson, Michael (Jocelyn) Jamieson. He also leaves behind several nieces and nephews whom he loved deeply.
