My Grandpa was a good, hardworking and honest man. He always put family first helping as much as he could whenever he could. He was a true BUSHMAN, teaching many men at the old Abitibi Mill how to work and chop wood in the bush, He lived by his love and his need to protect us all by teaching all of us about our Treaty rights and our Totem. He was kind, gentle and never spoke ill of anyone. He taught all of his children and grandkids to do the same. He left us very big shoes to fill. My gramps is the best because he always let his heart lead him, he walked a good road and led us by example, With hard work comes joy and that when we show those whom we love that they matter then it makes our world a better place. He is loved absolutely and missed dearly. I carry you in my heart gramps and I miss you every day!! RIP - Posted by: Stacy (Grand-Daughter) on: Nov 01, 2019

I will truly miss Grampa. He was the solid foundation to the family. I would like to share, with all those who could not attend the wake or funeral for such a beautiful soul, my poem I shared with the mourners in attendance and the mass. It is called: He Is Not Dead, by James Whitcomb Riley. He Is Not Dead: I cannot say, and will not say That he is dead. He is just away. With a cherry smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair Its needs must be, since he lingers there. And you -- oh you, who the wildest yearn For an old-time step, and the glad return, Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here. Think of Him still as the same. I say, He is not dead - he is just away. - Posted by: Anissa Bunn (grand daughter) on: Nov 08, 2016
