Dad was a man who loved to visit with absolutely anyone, who loved sports, music, and movies. He adored his family, cherished his friends, and enjoyed social outings and meals out immensely. He was very handsome and quite charming with a wonderful smile and great laugh. He treasured his family gatherings and invitations to events.
Dad loved walking, enjoyed his coffee, loved food and anything with lemon.
His favorite singer was Paul McCartney.
His favorite actor was Robert De Niro.
His favorite athlete was Jack Nicklaus.
Dad was quite an athlete in his day, and he played hockey, lacrosse, and broomball. He walked many miles each day and he played golf every week with his work buddies from Canada Post and his family. He loved playing cards with the guys at “The Moose” in Ottawa – it was a huge highlight for him. No need for google when wanting to know about music, sports, or movie trivia – he definitely was gifted. Dad was kind, caring, very sociable, and he enjoyed his cats immensely since he was just a kid.
He has left many stories to keep us laughing for a lifetime.
Dad, Grandpa and Friend – you are now free and reunited with loved ones who went before you.
You will be missed and are deeply loved.
As Babe’s family- we would like to sincerely thank Cherished Memories and their staff, for all the support and compassion they have shown during this time.
Dan, Juanita,Tyler and family,
My hope for you is that when you think of your Dad/Grandpa, is that you remember good times and happy stories from a man who had the”joie de vivre “ and all the twists and turns it brings. Sending love and best wishes to you and your family.
Our sincere condolences to Babe’s family on his passing. We live in Ottawa and spent many years playing cards with Babe at the Moose Lodge.
Babe was a soft spoken and gentle guy; he got along with everyone and was well liked by all. In my memories, I will always keep a place for Babe. 🫂🫂❤️❤️

I will always treasure and miss the friendship I had with Babe over the years.
He was so good natured and easy going. I will think of him often especially when I am golfing where he had a gift for remembering in detail every hole of every course we had been to.
Our condolences to the family on your loss.
