Mom and Dad met when she became the school teacher at Tobacco Creek School and were married in Winnipeg on July 7th, 1956.
Dad was a lifelong farmer in the Tobacco Creek District until his retirement to Carman in 2004. Dad loved farming and was always interested in how to the crops where turning out, even after his retirement. You could always count on a conversation about the weather and how much it had rained. Dad loved watching curling and the weather channel. Trips to the Austin Threshermen’s Reunion were highlights each summer.
Celebration of life will be at Doyle’s Funeral Chapel, Carman, MB on August 27th, 2025 at 2pm with officiant Lynne Sanderson.
