Dad lived a very full life.  He began his working career helping on the   family farm as well as working in the lumber mill alongside his brother-in-law Dave Reimer. Later Dad enjoyed working for farmers in the Brockington area, and he finished his working career at Parkland Hospital in Melfort.

Much fun was had when his plentiful family & friends were around with many a card game played around kitchen tables.  Dad also enjoyed being the emcee for many weddings in the Brockington area.  After moving to Melfort in 1977, Mom & Dad had more time to enjoy life with their family and friends.   They took joy in spending many summers camping throughout western Canada and the US.  Mom and Dad hosted many holiday meals and remain a shining example of long-time love and shared happiness with all who knew them.
