He spent 50 years of his life working in the bush starting at age 13 and retiring at 63. He was involved with the Otter Lake Volunteer Fire Department for a time and was proud of it, therefore donations in his name to this organization or to the Palliative Care unit at the Pontiac Community Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.
