He enjoyed travelling with Elfrieda and viewing the beauty of nature, reading, writing and singing.
He is survived by his wife Elfrieda, son David, son Darryl (Karen), grandchildren Tyler and Logen, brother Jim (Bernice) and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family gratefully acknowledges the kind service and care provided by Dr. Wooldridge and Dr. Carter, and all staff members at Simon Fraser Lodge.
