Percy was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather who loved his family dearly. For forty plus years he drove "big rigs" and continued to dream about that "one last run". In his semi retirement he enjoyed his cattle, trapping, hunting, fishing and giving a helping hand to many. He was truly an outdoors-man and was most happy working and being in the woods. He also worked as a Fire Sub Ranger with the Department of Lands and Forests and a park attendant for the provincial park in Glenwood for 12 years.
