His love for his grandchildren was unlimited grandpa was always there no matter what time or what city they were in.

He enjoyed fishing, golfing and traveling. His passion, the last few years was his garden in the summer. In the winter enjoyed snow blowing all the neighbour’s driveways and sidewalks .  Most would say” oh no more snow”. Dad would be saying Yeah!! it snowed.

His  friendship with his sister Ann was very important to him. Never wanted to miss her call every day at 2PM. Their weekly grocery trips. And occasional stop at the Casino. Was a highlighted time for dad.
