He graduated from Municipal Technology at Red River Community College and started working in 1966 with the Department of Highways as a Civil Engineering Technologist, retiring in 2001. Not only was he a loving husband, he was a very passionate, generous, loyal, hard working man who always put his family's needs first and taught his children the importance of these virtues. He was known for his sense of humour, and enjoyed making the people around him laugh and feel comfortable. He will be missed by the many family and friends that he has touched through out his life.
