He enjoyed being outside all the time and everyone who knew him will remember how he "puttered" in his yard. Dad enjoyed spending his summers at the cottage at Victoria Beach. He loved riding his bike, fishing, walking and having an immaculate yard in the city and at the lake. Our dad was proud to be an Opa and he loved playing games with his grandchildren. He also never missed his grandsons' hockey games. Our dad will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts.
