They raised two daughters and are further blessed by their son-in-law and grandchildren, all of whom he cherished deeply. He had many good years of farming, cleaning grain, and being available to support his community as a volunteer firefighter, RM councilor, hospital board member, and volunteer at Milden Rink. He made lifelong friends in the community of Milden and surrounding areas. Just before his recent retirement and enjoying his friends at Coffee Row, he was a farm mentor and shared his vast farming knowledge and expertise with many others. He enjoyed camping and boating with family and friends, hunting, fishing, golf, travel, family vacations, puzzles, playing cards, and family gatherings. He took pride in nurturing the homestead of his grandfather's ("the park"), which is still proudly held in the family. After weekly Sunday church service and a nap, he was a fan of afternoon drives, looking at the land and sharing a meal out with friends or family. He enjoyed chatting with old and just-made friends.
