He worked in the woods in Kelsey Bay for many years while raising his family and finished his career as a fisherman. he was always there to lend a hand. He was also in the Navy as a young man.
He spent many years coaching his sons in ball and other sports and could be seen in many hockey arenas. he could also be found bailing out his daughters with their broken down vehicles on many occasions. his family was always his focus!

We would also like to thank the staff at Glacier View Lodge for taking good care of Dad the past two and a half years. It is appreciated!
