It is with profound sadness that we announce Dad’s passing on Wednesday, June 23, 2021.
His smile, quick wit and caring disposition will be missed by all who knew him. He was predeceased by his wife Patt and is survived by daughters Jan (Bob), Lynda (Robin) and grandchildren Scott and Lauren (Nick) and his very special great-grandson Oliver.
Dad’s life was well-lived. He served his country in the RCAF from 1949-1955. He continued his love of flying through his 28 years as a pilot for Saskatchewan Air Ambulance. He saved countless lives by landing in fields, on highways and in the water, to expedite treatment of those who would not have made it by ground ambulance. He was a founding member of All Saints Anglican Church and enjoyed many years of fellowship through the choir and various church positions and projects. He was a proud member of the Wa Wa Shrine Temple for over 35 years, volunteering countless hours to help the Shriners Children’s Hospitals.
A private family memorial will be held at a later date.
Donations in his memory can be made to All Saints Anglican Church or the Wa Wa Shrine Temple.Please enter your email address to subscribe to new updates. A confirmation email will be sent to verify your subscription.
