  • Anne so sorry to hear of your loss! He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Sending prayers and ❤️ love to you and family. - Posted by: Jacqueline Irvine (Friend) on: Mar 17, 2025

  • A great person. He was very intelligent. As I recall, he had quit Laurier High School. Then he returned as an adult and completed his grade 12 in half a term. I last saw him when he was still principal at St. Norbert high school. Friendly and courteous. Sincere condolences to all his family.
