We had left Manitoba to move for a time to Abbotsford, Silverdale and Haney, British Columbia in 1965.

Dad joined his brothers on the tugs hauling logs on the Fraser River for Rivtow, enjoying his time as a first mate. 1971 saw the family move back to Winnipeg with Dad building houses, managing gas stations, joining the Corp of Commissioners’ serving at the Taxation center and U of M until his retirement. Dad and Mom then settled down on 10 acres in Cooks Creek. His favorite activities were on his Kubota Tractor landscaping, building garages, shops, and planting fruit trees.

Dad was an inspiration and a guiding influence on all us kids, and helped us see our potential and achieve it.
