He was born and raised in Pine River, MB but lived most of his life in Winnipeg where he worked for the Department of National Defense from 1952 until his retirement in 1986. He enjoyed hunting with Russell and Eugene and had a passion for buying and fixing cars. He could fix or build anything and unselfishly helped family and friends throughout his life. He worked hard to support and ensure his family was well taken care of. Dad, we hope you knew how much we appreciated everything you did for us. After retirement he finally had more time to enjoy life including spending time with his grandchildren. We will never forget you Giga. We know heaven is full of cars to fix, jumble puzzles, cookies, ice cream and nuts and where nobody will care if you skip dinner for dessert. Heartfelt thanks to Linda and Mario for taking special care of Papa Tony. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba or to a charity of choice.
