I only met him a few times, but knew him through his son Kirk (and wife Denise) and grandson Cody, and his support of Aldersgate Church. It was always a treat to see him and Murice in church. He was a great man, who lived a full life and leaves his legacy to be carried on by his children and grandchildren.
