After a brief illness Dad has embarked on his last haul in life’s journey. Dad was predeceased

by his parents, his first wife Peggy, his daughter Annette, his granddaughter Rebecca, and his

brother-in-law Larry.  Dad is lovingly remembered by his second wife Joan and his daughters Charlotte

(Rob) Leach, Bridgette (Jack) Boyde, Denette (Dave) Stengert, son-in-law Steven (Karen) Hartley, sisters

Gladys Roberge, Helen (Bud) Ringer, Edie (Chris) Goodfellow, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren,

and many close relatives and friends.

Dad was born in Lethbridge and grew up on a farm in Milk River, Alberta.  After a short stint

in the Army he worked on the drilling rigs as far away as the Artic Islands.  Dad found his true

passion in truck driving, eventually becoming an owner-operator.  He was always happiest on the

open road.  Throughout the years he enjoyed many adventures including salmon fishing in Campbell

River and riding bareback broncs in the Calgary Stampede. In later years he took pleasure in trips to Mexico but always returned to his favourite fishing hole at Tranquille Lake.

Dad was a very generous man to all who knew him.  The spare parts Dad carried in his truck saved many

a driver who had broken down on the highway.  Papa spoiled each of his grandchildren, the loves of

his life and his pride and joy, each in their own way. They never tired of hearing his stories.

  Keep on Truckin’ PAPA C.

In lieu of flowers, donations to BC Children’s Hospital or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

A celebration of Dad’s life will be held on Saturday, July 12^th at 11:00 am at the Kamloops Funeral. Tea to follow.
