He was a hardworking man and embraced life with vigour, enthusiasm, and had a passion for heavy equipment. He worked until his early 70’s and retired from his employer Paul Miles. A job he truly loved.
He provided a loving home for his family. He loved to go camping and sit around the campfire. He and Deanie found their oasis in 1988 when they purchased lake front property in
He was a story and joke teller and if you were coming to visit you had to be prepared to stay awhile. You may have heard some over and over but always sounded just as good the second time. All stories ended with “True Story”. He loved organizing, viewing and sharing his prized photos. His number one album was that of mom, he reminded her always how good looking she was and still is. She was his everything.
He was an amazing father, grandfather and great grandfather, who was always welcoming and accepting of all who entered the family over the years. He was cherished and will be dearly missed.
