Reg was born in Neepawa, Manitoba on June 16, 1932. He grew up in Franklin, Manitoba and helped his parents in their grocery store. In 1947, when he was 14, Reg and his curling team from Franklin won the Western Canada Schoolboys Bonspiel, for which the team was inducted into the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame in May 2016. Reg worked on his uncle’s farms for about 12 years. He was always interested in music and played saxophone in a dance band in Neepawa for several years and also in the Lions Club Band. He married Iris Campbell and they spent a year in Toronto where Reg took a course at the Radio College of Canada. They came to Edmonton in 1957. Reg began his career in electronics, working at Cowley Bros., Canadian Electronics, and Cardinal Industrial Electronics. In 1982, Reg married Marj (nee Skaret). They were avid curlers in the winter and enjoyed 29 summers at their cabin at Christina Lake, BC. Sadly Marj passed away July 25, 2017, just a few months short of their 35th wedding anniversary.
