Also left to remember him are great-grandchildren, Kristen (Keith), Michael (Carrie), Ethan, and Addison. Dad grew up in the North End, the youngest of three brothers and attended Luxton School. His early career was with Macdonald Aircraft but with the advent of war he moved to the RAF in repairing aircraft. After the war he worked at St. Charles Golf and Country Club for a few years. When he became a salesman, and for 28 years selling for HJ Heinz, he believed he had the best job in the world. When Dad retired, Mom and Dad travelled extensively every year to a warmer climate. Destinations ranged from Mexico, cruises and Panama City. When not out of the country he curled at the West Kildonan Curling Club, was a 28 year member of Branch #30 Royal Canadian Legion, and sang in the choir at St. Martins in the Field Church. Summer activities were re-building an old cottage at LacLu. After Mother’s passing, he moved into Kildonan House where he made many new friends and remained until his passing. Special thanks to Emergency Room Staff and the nurses on the Third floor at Concordia Hospital who made his final days comfortable.
