Growing up in the Gardiner on a farm, working in the coal mines, being a fireman and his love of people made him the man he was. Dad was a kind, gentle, hard-working man. He was a coal miner for 45 years. This was his life and if you worked for Emil Went in the pit, he expected you to work as hard as him. He was well respected by all his fellow miners and by everyone he met. His second love was the Scotchtown Volunteer Fire Department. He belonged to this for 60 years and was greatly respected there. He loved going down to the fire hall in the afternoon to check on the boys and have a good game of tarabish. He always liked to win. He was a member of the New Waterford Pensioners' Club and ran the card games and the pension fund for years. He loved a good game of 45s and he especially loved being out with the people he would meet. Dad and Jamie were quite a fixture at the card games and the fire hall the last 15 years.
