He lived the majority of his life at 3603 Caen Avenue the yellow house on the corner of McCallum and Argyle in the Lakeview area. Dad could be seen sitting on the porch of our Caen Avenue home having a beer and watching the activities of the neighbourhood. Thanks to those who would stop by and say hello we know he appreciated the company! A special thanks to Erla and Dee who kept an eye on Dad for us we appreciate your continued care and support over the many years.

We would like to thank all of the staff and doctors at Wascana, and especially Dr. Newton, for making his stay there an enjoyable one. The care and compassion shown to him in his final hours is very much appreciated. We would also like to thank Ray Schneider who was Dads roommate he enjoyed your company Ray Thank You!
