He was an honorable man he loved to curl and golf. All who knew him liked him. He had many nieces and nephews who loved him dearly. We will miss him a lot.

His wishes are to be cremated, there will be a private family service at a later date.

His two special sister-in-law’s Mary Lou Nelson and Bobbie Carr who have always cared and loved him.

A special thank you to all who took wonderful care of a wonderful man at Lakeview Manor.
