Peacefully, in the care of the Ottawa Hospital, on Wednesday, September 15, 2021 at the age of 65, after a courageous five year battle with cancer. Loving husband to Cristy. Brilliant brother to William (Virginia), Allan (Christina) and Michael (Deidree). Predeceased by his parents William and Isabel, and sister Heather. Cherished uncle to Bryan, Cedric, Cristan, Chadwick, Kelly, Scott, Wayne and Samantha.
