My dad led a really big life. If you can drive it, he raced it; crashed it; then fixed it. Boats, ski-do’s, motorcycles & cars. He found himself an amazing woman who would enjoy his crazy and keep him runnin’. My childhood was punctuated with the phrase, “Your father’s in the hospital again…”
His big life was destroyed by depression, dementia, Parkinson’s and cancer. He is survived by his daughter Jennifer Smith, son-in-law David Smith, sisters Carol (Massaro) & Jackie Pugh, and sister-in-law Shirley Lawrence (Mercier) & brother-in-law Dave Lawrence.
Thank you to all the staff at Hogarth who made his days so much better.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Thunder Bay.
