He later got married and had four children. Reg worked at many jobs throughout his life.

The family would like to thank the Doctors, nurses and staff of Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph's Hospice for all of the care they provided to Dad throughout his illness.
Following Dad's wishes, cremation has taken place and no funeral service will be held. Should friends so desire, donations made in memory of Reg to St. Joseph's Care Group would be greatly appreciated.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the WESTFORT CHAPEL, 420 West Gore Street at James.
