His health failed him a year ago and within the last three months he was confined to his bed most of the time. During this time he spent about a month at hospital , twice at Come By Chance and once at the Hearth Sciences Centre.

The funeral took place at Long Beach, United Church, conducted by Rev. H. Ivany and Miss Joan Berge. Members of the Royal Canadian Legion, Clarenville Branch, and members of the Loyal Orange Lodge attended.
The hymn "Does Jesus Care" was requested by the family and was sung by Rev. H. Ivany. Remains were laid to rest at the United Church Cemetery. Donations in memory of the deceased were made to the Kidney Foundation.
