married Rosalie and started a family. In 1964 they moved
back home to St Stephen where they raised their family.

life working in many different places as an Electrician.
Later adding Plumbing and Refrigeration to his trades. At
the age of 55 he went to UNB Fredericton and received his teaching
degree and became an Electrical Instructor at NBCC St Andrews until
retirement.
Papa’s (Pup) greatest joys were his
family. He never missed a birthday party, sporting event,
graduation, wedding or whatever was going on, he was always
there. As a young man he played hockey and went on to coach
the Bisons in St Stephen. He spent a lot of time at his camp
hunting, fishing, gardening, cutting his own firewood and just hanging
out with anyone who stopped in to visit. He was an active
participant in the Charlotte County Relay for Life. He spent
days helping with the set up and walked every year as a survivor until
he was unable to attend. One of his greatest past times was
walking to the St Stephen Fire Hall and hanging out with the
crew. For many years he was a member of the St Stephen
Legion and enjoyed playing darts there.
Due to government protocol regarding Covid 19, there will be
no public visitation or funeral service at this time. A private
graveside service will be held a later date.
