He loved to square dance and he competed in many competitions with various Cote groups, he took pride in representing Cote.  He loved playing Poker but not in it to win but to be around people and to make them laugh. He also loved landscaping and made a beautiful yard for his family to enjoy.  He enjoyed playing games such as scrabble and would go to any lengths to win, even studying the scrabble dictionary.  He enjoyed laughing and joking, he was well liked by everyone.  He had a personality that either drew laughter or an argument.

He worked in security, labourer, pipeline and greatest accomplishment was during his council years of negotiating the Pelly Haylands and Cote Legacy Trust.

He will be sadly missed and his greatest saying is “Never Give Up” and “Never Feel Sorry For Yourself”

“I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you”  John 14:18
