It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a great husband, dad and pépé, on June 15, 2011, surrounded by his family.

He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Lynette. He was a proud and loving dad to Garfield (Marlene), Sydney, Maureen (Mark), Cole Harbour, Cheryl (Glenn), Fall River, Jennifer (Charlie), Fall River, Heather (Bill), Barrie, Ont.

He worked for Booth Fisheries and then Richmond Fisheries for 40 years as a Captain then Shore Captain. One of his favourite pastimes was telling stories of his fishing experiences in vivid detail. Spending time with his grandchildren resulted in lots of joy and laughter.
