Dad's dedication to education went beyond his classroom. He worked diligently as an active member of the Western Teachers' Association, the Manitoba Teachers' Society and, after his retirement, Retired Teachers' Association of Manitoba.

He was also a very active community member, serving on the Board of Morden and District Museum and the MSTW Planning Commission. His leadership was evident on every committee and he will always be remembered for his strong sense of commitment to his family, his church, and his community.
