Having lost his mother at 6 months old, he was raised by family and lived in Dunchurch until he moved to Elliot Lake at 17 years old. For the next 65 years he built his life working in the mines, ultimately staying with Stanleigh Mine as a journeyman carpenter, retiring at 55. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and loved the outdoors.
He had a strong work ethic and great love for his family. He will be forever missed and dearly loved by the house he built, The "North Nut House".
