He was a Lifetime Member of the Technology Professionals of Saskatchewan.In retirement, he pursued many interests including curling, golf and gardening in the summer. There were weekly coffee visits with former colleagues at Market Mall. His love of learning and reading were passed on to his children and grandchildren. He was a very gentle soul and was always pointing out birds and Saskatoon berries from the highway as we whizzed by them. He will be greatly missed. Thank you to the physicians, nurses and staff at Stensrud Lodge and St Paul’s Hospital 5A for the care they provided to him.
