Great grandpa to McKenna, Jackson, Kylah, and Mason. World’s best uncle to many nieces and nephews.

They are all his favourite.

Long time car hauler with Charlton M.C.L and Allied Systems until he retired in January 2014.

He had incredible love for hunting and fishing with his friends at Mohawk Bay Park where he camped for 39 years and also with his long-time friend Dwight Cameron who would keep him talking for hours.

If there was ever a time you needed him, he was always there. He was always so strong and never showing fear. We as a family hope to carry on that trait and make him proud as he looks down on us from heaven.

A beautiful person to all who knew him as Dave, Mid, Lucky Loser, and Snowflake.
