They lived on a small farm before moving to Winnipeg in 1960 where he was employed at Cowin Steel until retiring in 1985. Dad was a quiet, caring man whose life revolved around his family, with his grandchildren his pride and joy. Never afraid of hard work, he loved the outdoors, carpentry, going for walks, could repair almost anything. Great grandchildren brought my parents special joy.
