Dad and Mom met and married in B.C. After having Carol and Denise they moved back to Winnipeg. Here they had Shelley, Laura, Keith and Glenn.
Dad worked for many years at Goodyear Tire and Mom worked at Dominion and Safeway.
Mom and Dad were very involved in all of their children’s activities. They were also involved in Sinclair Park Bingo and Immaculate Conception Bingo. Dad was a member of the Knights of Columbus and mom volunteered on our Sports Associations.
The highlight of their lives was watching their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren play their many sports.
They retired in Sandy Hook then moved to Selkirk then back to Winnipeg.
They will both be forever loved and missed by their family and friends.
