Sam was a member of the X11 Manitoba Dragoons during the Second World war. He became involved with construction upon his return to Winnipeg. His last position prior to his retirement was with the Manitoba Agriculture Credit Corporation as a Construction Supervisor. Sam loved construction and was one of the developers of the Bayshore Heights Cottage Development 9 miles north of Gimli. He loved the lake and would spend as much time as he could at his lakefront cottage in the summer. Sam loved to carve animals and birds out of wood and spent many hours at his new passion. He never lost his love of construction and was forever building something.

FATHER Who worked so hard and saved so long for what we have today; And anytime would sacrifice, His chance to rest and play. Who always saw his children have, The things he did without; And gave so much, unselfishly For thats what loves about. Who sought no honours, no rewards, For all that he had done; Except to raise a family, The very finest one. Though we cannot evaluate Our dad, his love, his worth, To us hell always be "Just Dad". The greatest guy on earth. You will always be missed... LEATHERDALE GARDINER 1501 Waverley Street 949-4860
