He told many stories of “riding the freight trains” throughout this difficult time. Charlie enlisted in the Canadian Army after the war broke out. He served first in England with his unit, the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa and participated in the D-Day invasion. At the end of the war, he remained in Europe as part of reconstructive war efforts.

He affected the lives of many people and was known in many circles in and around Moose Jaw. Anyone who knew him realized that he lived life by example and that he was a kind, gentle, compassionate man.

He was an active participant in the recreational and educational aspects of his children’s lives including the Empire Home and School Association, Moose Jaw Church Minor Hockey Association and the Boy Scouts of Canada.
