They would have been married 74 years in September. Father of Tom (Doris) of British Columbia and George (Kathleen) of Georgia, USA.

For almost 70 years he has served his Lord through the local church in youth ministry, Sunday school, as a board member and faithful church member. In the 50’s he served for three years as president of Youth for Christ in Oshawa, bringing youth together from many denominations, introducing some to Jesus Christ and encouraging all to grow in a relationship with Him.
