He was also an active parent in his sons’ sports, especially minor hockey.

He loved working on the issues and enjoyed many friendships formed over his life.

He will be cremated with burial in a private family ceremony at a date to be determined. A Celebration of Life will be held with date, time and location announced in the future. He was especially appreciative of the caring medical care provided by the Ottawa Hospital and at the Chartwell New Edinburgh Square Seniors Residence. Donations to the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Center would be appreciated by the family.
