Born November 20, 1934 in Brandon, Manitoba, my Pops sought a military life, settling at C.F.B Southport in 1972 and retiring as a sergeant in a career that brought him fulfillment for 25 years and (more importantly), the love of his life and a 48 year marriage. He continued to strive as a hard-working man; building a beautiful home from the ground-up for his family- all the while working and attending Red River College in Winnipeg to yet fulfill a career with The City of Portage la Prairie as an engineer- where he retired.
