He is survived by his wife of over 60 years Anne (Cornthwaite), sons Ivan (Lori), Brent (Pauline) and Bruce (Anne) and 7 grandchildren Meghan, Sabrina, Alex, Lindsay, Wesley, Dayle and Grant.
He went to Central Public School and Sudbury Mining and Technical School. He worked for 34 ½ years at Falconbridge Nickel Mines retiring in 1985. He was a builder and a tinker man, he could fix just about anything and sometimes broke things when trying to fix it. His skills helped him build his home and a camp on Lake Kagawong on Manitoulin Island, where he enjoyed many happy years. He also enjoyed cross country skiing, skating, reading books about World War 2 and working at St. Andrew’s United Church in the kitchen and the Fall Fair. He made special bird houses that were sold annually at the “Fair”.
