Passed away Monday, April 15, 2019 at Chelsey Park Residence in London, Ontario in his 95th year. Born and raised on the family farm outside of Kyle, Saskatchewan on December 26, 1924.

He enjoyed golf, curling, and gardening and was an active supporter of the church and amateur sports in the communities in which he lived.
