December 2, 1928 – March 26, 2019

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father. He was a kind, gentle man and was loved and respected by so many. Dad was predeceased by his wife Alice, parents Claude and Yvonne, sisters Lorraine and Louise, brother George and stepson David. Left to cherish his memory are children Margaret (Don), Barb (Jerry), Debbie (Randy), Leona (Karl), Ken (Michelle), Shirley (Richard) and Joanne (Joe), 23 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren and ex-wife Betty (Cliff). Also stepchildren Lyle (Brenda), Ted (Colleen), Danny (Sandra), 9 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Dad was born in Chase and was proud to call it home for 90 years. His sharp mind made him a wonderful resource for anyone seeking information on the area and many of those who lived there. He spent his earlier years farming, running his trucking/backhoe business, and working for the department of highways. After retiring Dad and Alice took up woodworking, which they both loved. Our family would like to extend a heart-felt thank you to Dr. Bernard, the Nurses on 5 South and Doctors Rollheiser and Montgomery for the great compassion they showed Dad and ourselves as we went through this difficult time. A Celebration of Dad’s Life will be held May 11, 2019 at 11:00am in the Chase Community Hall. Dad will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
