Dear brother to Don (Shelia) in England and Terry (Diane) in Port Elgin, ON. He was predeceased by his sisters Kathleen (Frank) and Muriel (Roger) and brother Ernie (Norma). He will be missed by his nephews, nieces in England and many friends in the apartment, especially Joyce and Pete.
In his later years he took up water colour painting, which he loved to do for relatives and friends. He was an avid sports fan. He delighted seeing his sons play hockey, then his grandchildren and finally his great grandson. The Montreal Canadians were his favourite team. He loved people and they loved him in return.
