He began his career as a Machinist with CN Rail in July, 1961 in Transcona and retired with CP Rail in August, 2004 in Coquitlam after 43 years of service. Pops has spent the last 38 years living in the West End of Vancouver on English Bay and this is where he was happy, enjoyed good weather and had many friends and acquaintances. Pops was kind, generous and caring to both people and animals. He was loved by all that knew him and you just had to appreciate his sense of humour. As per Alex's wishes, there will be no service. Please always remember him by the last joke he told you or an encouraging word he may have said. His presence on this Earth will be missed.
