Lovingly remembered by his son, Gordie (Marina); granddaughter, Sheila (Tim) Morley; grandsons, Dennis (Lyndsey), Jamie (Tiffany), Jason (Charie), great-grandchildren, Grace, Max and Nathan; and great niece, Cindy Krowchuk.

At the age of 16, Dad drove the team of horses delivering groceries for the Canmore Mining Company store. He then moved onto Canmore Mines as a miner, lamphouse attendant, and #3 power house attendant. After the mine closed down in 1979, he went to the Banff Springs Hotel and worked as maintenance worker, and then on to Simpson's Car wash.

Many thanks to Brentwood InterCare Center's staff and nurses, the Bow River lodge staff and nurses, Drs John Michalyshyn and Catherine Hinds for their care and compassion. Many thanks to special friends Beatrice, Diane, and Terry, Flint Simpson, Kerry Kaleta and the coffee gang at A&W.

At dad's request there will be no services. Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to a charity of choice.
