Devoted Father, Loving
Grandfather, Humble Friend
January 17, 1951 ~ June 10, 2020

We can shed tears that he is gone,
or we can smile because he lived.
We can close our eyes,
and pray that he'll come back.
Or we can open our eyes,
and see what he has left.
Love lives on, he may be gone,
but will never be forgotten.

A Celebration of life will take place on Saturday, August 8th, 2020 from 12pm to 5pm at Redcliff Baden Powell Center, 202 1st Street SW, Redcliff, AB. Open to all family and friends. Phil's family thanks you for your kind words and well wishes.

He coached Asher in hockey and was at every dance recital of Dylen’s. He loved dirt biking, camping, wake/snowboarding, hunting and learning to play the guitar with Asher. Ryan and Milt went on a trip of a lifetime hunting caribou and dahl sheep last summer; a trip both of them cherished. He was a kid at heart and his true inner child came out when playing and laughing with his children, niece and nephew and all of his friends children. Ryan was always the life of the party and the bright light in every room. The time spent being surrounded by his family and friends was one of Ryan’s greatest joys.
