He loved to fish, work with wood and hunt for treasure. Heartfelt thanks goes out to brother Doug, Carman and Ruth, and Dr. Fil Incitti for taking care over- and -above of Dad. Special thanks to Geddes Medical Clinic, Dr. Kapoor, Sheila Dixon, Dr. Weiss and the Palliative staff at Groves Memorial Hospital. Dad appreciated each of you so much.
