He was passionate about harness racing, hockey, and football. He was an avid Leafs and 49ers fan! He was proudly a "Boy Scout" and minor hockey coach for his son. He loved to cook and clean in the kitchen. He made the best biscuits and was the "BBQ King." We will remember his smile, how he enjoyed life, a good laugh, and socializing with his many friends. He loved his Port Hood home, the beach, and Cape Breton sunsets. But more than anything he dearly loved his two children, his buddy and his princess - they were his pride and joy. He will be dearly missed. On-line condolences may be made to www.invernessfuneralhome.com.
