He was an amazing all-around athlete, playing hockey, baseball and softball at all levels. Right out of high school he joined the telephone company where he started at the top of a pole and kept rising further above to become a revered manager and leader. He loved the outdoors and everything that came with it, especially a good old boil-up and berry picking with Mom, A cod fry up, homemade bread, partridge berry jam and a sweet for breakfast, all ranked at the very top. A Friday visit to the Westmount Club was not to be missed. He was an amazing dad, grandfather, great grandfather, friend and neighbour; Always willing to listen, help, offer advice and guidance.
