Dad’s love of community spirit brought him great joy. He was an original member of the Centre Culturel Laronde, a former member of the Ironworker`s Union, a member of the 3rd and 4th Degree Knights of Columbus, an active member of St. Anthony’s Cathedral’s choir and pastoral assistant. In his later years, he became a dedicated volunteer driver for the Canadian Cancer Society and The Golden Manor. He loved driving and took great pride and pleasure in assisting patients to their appointments. He was rewarded with the Queen’s Medal for his hard work and compassion. Good job Dad.
In lieu of flowers, remembrance donations to St. Anthony’s Building Fund or the Extendicare Palliative Care or a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
A special thanks to all the staff at Extendicare for their compassion and care towards dad during his stay.
