Dad touched a lot of people that crossed his path he helped everyone, everyone that came to him he never said no to anyone. Dad never complained he was a very humble man. Dad loved hunting, fishing and rice picking in his younger years, he also harvested wild rice, smoked meat and fish. Dad provided for his family, he was a very hard working man. He was a carpenter, and worked in the bush pulp cutting.

Mom and Dad adopted 2 beautiful little girls that they really loved, Julianna and Athena they are now adults and have children of their own Rueben, Kyler, Amiah and Niel, Dad loved these little children. Dad told us to continue to love them as our sisters.

Dad loved his Lord and Saviour, always prayed and read his bible, always saying a prayer before he ate. Dad inspired everyone close to him. Dad travelled everywhere for his Lord and Saviour, he knew a lot of people, he sang in church and played guitar.

2nd Timothy 4:7 – I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

John 15:7 – If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

Now that Mom and Dad are reunited in Heaven, they must be rejoicing together, God gained another soul in Heaven.
