People of Gander will remember Dad as a plumber, supervisor of maintenance at ATC building and one who was a jack of all trades and an exceptionally hard worker. Fellow parishioners will remember Dad’s tirelessness in early mornings as he was constantly attending to the church’s furnace needs before Sunday Mass and often throughout the week. Knights of Columbus will remember his selling tickets and other volunteer work. Legion members will remember his beautiful voice and the great dancer that he was. Many others will remember his dry sense of humor and his constant teasing, especially our Mom, his joy of gardening and caring for his tulips, roses and all his plants. His devotion to the Miraculous Medal was an inspiration to all his family. Others will remember him from the pubs- which he enjoyed at times.
