He will be remembered by brothers, Lorne (Audrey), Lloyd (Bernice), Graham (Joan), and Bruce (Alma). He was predeceased by brothers, Irvin (Hilda), Kenneth (Audrey), Austin (Pauline), Burris (Audrey); sisters, Dorothy, Muriel (Arthur) Howe, Melita (Everett) Weeks, Marion (James) McBurnie, and Helen (Norman) Brumm.

His adopted family includes, Donna (Jan & Mia Ekstedt), Sweden; Franklin VanBlarcom (Glenda), Halifax; John VanBlarcom (Yvonne, Randi Marie and Kelsey), Windsor and Stephen VanBlarcom (Stacey, Jesse and Shyloh), Hantsport.Arrangements for cremation were entrusted to Lohnes-DeMont Funeral Service Ltd., 419 Albert St., Windsor.
