Dad died as he lived: with a smile and without fear or regret. Healthy nearly until the end, he bore the pain and lethargy of two weeks in hospital with a smile and a positive attitude. He was friendly with the hospital staff, in spite of their efforts to help him regain mobility and to encourage him to eat.

Dad made friends wherever he went. He was generous with his time and his money. He was a gracious host. His circle of friends was large and always growing.

Dad volunteered for the Liberal party for 40+ years and in the Anglican Church for longer than that. Returning to skiing in his late 40s through to his mid 70s, he volunteered extensively at his ski club over many of his active skiing years. He and our mother volunteered for Cancer Assistance Services of Halton Hills, for some years around the time they retired.

Dad worked hard, growing, learning and succeeding in a career that he enjoyed immensely. He never lost the twinkle in his eye, or his eagerness to continue to grow and learn. He departed in peace; in the perfect frame of mind for the coming interview with St. Peter.
