He spent most of his life in the Prince Albert/Spruce Home area. Working for Kirsch Construction, Eagle Transport, and as owner/operator of Andy’s Mobile Home Movers enabled him to travel from BC to Quebec and NWT. He also worked for the R.M. of Buckland.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff of Golden Hill for the wonderful care and support for the past 12 years and the interesting variety of outings and socials offered by the Rec.
