Survived by Audrey (Lorne), Wendy (Hugh), Rick (Jane), and Patti (Bob); 10 grandchildren; and 12 great grandchildren. Married to Mary (May) Agnes Town (née Saunders) for 68 years until her passing in 2014, his later years were marred by dementia.
For our father, life was an adventure. A 50 year career in railroading, a short wartime Army stint, world travels, ice scuba diving starting in 1961, bowling, pilot’s license, Shriner Motor Patrol and YMCA leadership and Special Olympics volunteer; those were just some of his pursuits that used the same adventurous spirit. Along with May, he imparted that life approach to all his children. We are grateful for that direction in our lives.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the dedicated care team at Deer Lodge Tower 3 especially Arlis Decorte, as they were superb in our father’s final years. As well, Comforts of Home Care provided great comfort to dad particularly Cheri’s caring and understanding ministrations.
A Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday, June 6 at 10:00 am at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard.
In lieu of flowers please consider donations to the Deer Lodge Center Foundation.
