Dad was a very proud but private man. He enjoyed darts at the church hall, a game of cards, and especially planting a garden.  Even after he sold his cabin, he found a patch of ground for his onions and potatoes.  He also learned to play guitar! Dad loved telling stories from his past. After his surgery, he sat up in bed telling us about the Clydesdales his father had for hauling wood. They would have Christmas bells attached to the horses for their sleigh rides when they were children. Dad enjoyed his last few hours watching the "good 'ol hockey game" and unknown to us that he would pass away at 1:05AM.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Dr. Peter Blackwood and all the doctors and nursing staff of the 4D unit at Western Memorial Regional Hospital for their care and compassion shown during his stay.
