<div itemprop="description">It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dad in the early hours of September 23, 2013, at Deer Lodge Centre. He was 89 years old. <br /> <br />Dad will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by his daughter Allison, sons Jeff (Mona) and Guy (Linda), and granddaughters Stefanie (Colin), Emma and Sarah. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews in Thunder Bay. Dad was predeceased by his wife Mollie (nee Brazeau), parents Alice and Bill, brother Jack, and sisters Jane Seed, Margaret Holford and Betty Marshall. <br /> <br />Dad was born in Fort William, Ontario (now Thunder Bay) and moved his family to Winnipeg in 1970. He retired from the CPR in 1984 after forty-two years of service. Dad enjoyed gardening, music, oil painting and the mild winters of the west coast. He was a long-time member of Kirkfield Park United Church, sang with the Winnipeg Male Chorus for seventeen years, and enjoyed painting with the Norman Art Group as well as the Sturgeon Creekers. Dad joined the army and served his country for three years during World War II. <br /> <br />We would like to thank the staff of Tower 6 at Deer Lodge who took such good care of Dad during his eighteen months with them, and who were so kind to us during Dad&rsquo;s last days. <br /> <br />Cremation has taken place. In keeping with Dad&rsquo;s wishes not to make a fuss, there will be a private family interment. <br /> <br />Flowers are gratefully declined. Instead, please make a donation in Dad&rsquo;s memory to a charity of your choice. <br /> <br />We love you, Dad. Rest in peace. <br /></div>
