Dad will always be known and remembered for his devotion to family. Nothing made him happier than a family gathering. Dad readily took on many leadership roles in churches where he was a member. Dad enjoyed many years with Mum at their cottage in Quebec, winters in Louisiana and other travel. They truly had a great long life together. As we have missed Mum, we will miss you Dad. Dad bids farewell to all his friends and the wonderful staff at Kensington Court Retirement Home, where he resided for the last 6 years.
A very special thank you goes to the staff at Windsor Regional Hospital Ouellette Campus, 8th floor stroke unit, for their compassionate care and to the staff at Walter D. Kelly’s for the personal and professional manner with which they conducted the arrangements for our family this year.
