In addition, he is also survived by his brother Lloyd (Grace); special niece Carey; his sister-in-law and brother in-law Carole (Durick) and Paul Renshaw.

In his early working career he worked at CN Rail, Irving Refinery, West Side Hospital, the Sugar Refinery, spending the last 27 years at Moosehead Breweries, retiring in June 2015. He was always interested in railways, the military, as well as current events. He enjoyed trips but was always eager to be home again.
