My Dad was special to those who knew him. He loved a good joke and he liked to tease. Growing up there were many whisker rubs. Later there were long conversations about life, Earth, Space, religion, etc. All held over a cup of hot tea and lots and lots of sugar. Dad enjoyed his cucumber salad, creamed lettuce salad, boiled potatoes, fried pork chop, hamburger done with tomatoes, and all kinds of fresh garden vegetables. He also enjoyed company, and earlier he enjoyed visiting people. The last few years have been hard on Dad. He expected more help from his family, but we were busy with our lives and didn't visit as often as he may have liked. He was a tough man to help as things had to be done on his time line, his way of doing. But if you needed help with something, he would always give his advice and help. He planted a large garden, even this year when he was very sick. He liked to try unusual vegetables. I remember the year we had peanuts, ground almonds and huckleberries. Also, okra - although we didn't know what to do with it! He loved to go in the bush and look for fresh morale mushrooms in the Spring, and berries in the fall. We used to pick raspberries from the road side as a family, blue berries in the whiteshell, and wild strawberries in the mid-spring. Nothing better than wild strawberries with fresh dairy cream! You may have only got a few per serving because they were small, but the taste was very large. Dad also could fix anything or build anything. He helped me with making a small work table, and refinishing my first set of tables and chairs. I remember he had bought a leather sewing machine so he could make/mend his own leather, and he made cushion tops for stools. He made cabinets for the house. When I visited him, I would try to bring him some treats he enjoyed like pastry or fresh made cookies, and we would reminisce and have a hot cup of tea. I will always remember the hot tea, and the hot wood stove in the winter, and enjoying a good joke. There are too many memories to place here, but I will remember...Love you Dad, may you now be at rest and say hello to Uncle Frank, Baba, Kurt and the kids. - Posted by: Thea M.
