March 17, 1931 - August 18, 2024
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Dad was a gentle soul and the light of our family.
Survived by his only child, Rick(Janet) his two grandchildren, Dennis and Karlynn and two precious great-grandchildren and friend Lil.
Predeceased by his cherished wife Astrid, his parents and siblings.
Dad was born in Turtleford, SK. And at a young age he and his family settled in Squamish, BC., where he would eventually begin his life long career as a locomotive engineer at the age of 21 with BCRail, spanning over 49 years.
Dad was an avid fisherman and spent many summers at the cabin that we built at Stuart Lake. He was a Spruce Kings and Cougars fan and a season ticket
holder for many years.
May you rest in peace. We will love you forever, until we meet again.
No service by request. If desired, donations may be made to the PG Hospice House in his memory.
