He was loved and will be missed by brothers Emerson and Bob; his daughters Carol-Lyn Thompson (Allan), Susan Turgeon and Cindy Denter (Allen); Grandchildren Brent, Chris, Naomi, Carrie and Allison; Great Grandchildren Tristyn, Liam, Aija, Ryder, Brayden, Oliver and Owen; as well as Great Great Grandchildren Nova and Orion. A service will be held at the graveside in Trenton, Ontario at a later date.
