He is survived by his children Jeanie (Allen), Steven, Jarvis (Judy), Gerald, Angie (Tom), one brother Wes (Audrey), nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by his wife Doreen, son David, four sisters and their spouses and one brother.
Dad married Mom in 1955. He worked for Kelly Douglas in Quesnel until 1966 when he moved the family (five kids) to PG to join his brother in partnership in their very successful business. Baby number six came to complete the family in 1967. Because all four sons were hockey players, Dad was involved with minor hockey. He and mom curled with the gang at Woodwards; many stories from that era. There were many hunting and fishing trips; all who were included in those trips have very fond memories travelling in the Moose Gooser.
Dad had big love for mom, his kids, grandkids and dogs – especially Rascal. He loved to see his great-grandbabies when they started to arrive. His yard was a source of pride; two family weddings happened in that yard. There were very close relationships with the neighbors from the three homes we lived in, as well as the many people he met through his business. He lived a very full life and was always there for advice or to lend a hand.
We love you Dad. Rest in peace now that you “got to your own”.
The family would like to extend their gratitude to all the care staff involved in the care and comfort given to Dad during his stay at Simon Fraser Lodge.
