Loving husband of Louise (Campbell) for 60 years. Proud father of Marilyn and son-in-law Ron Tschirhart of Port Moody, BC and Vicki Kannapin of Kitchener.

He retired after 30 years as a transformer assembler with General Electric. He was an original member of Highland Road United Church. Golf was his passion, but also enjoyed travelling.
