He was deeply loved by his nieces and nephews in Canada and his best friend, Tony Van Es and his family, as well as his dear friend, Paul Clark.



In lieu of flowers, for those who wish, the family has respectfully requested that friends make a charitable donation in his memory to the following: Samaritans Purse, Post Office Box 3000, Boone, North Carolina 28607-3000; or the loving charity of ones choice.
