In recognition of his life-long contribution to sport, he was inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame last November. Dad will always be remembered with love by his three daughters: Shirley, Dale and Lois, and their families, and by his many friends and the numerous hockey and football players and patients he treated over the years.
