Dad was born in Pigeon Lake MB to Jack and Formosa Davies. He travelled to Picture Butte with his brother Leo seeking adventure and work.

Dad met mom and fell in love with her, and they married November 19th, 1954, and were together for 68 years.

Dad worked at Butte Feeds until his retirement, then mom and dad worked at their friends (Nancy & Ray) Fly in Fishing Camp: Shadd Lake SK, for 16 years. It was the “Best Years of Their Life”.

As a man of many passions, dad enjoyed gardening, fishing and telling stories. Dads’ warmth, humor and kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew him, his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Dad was predeceased by his wife Mary, parents, six siblings, his daughter-in-law Josee and son Robert “Bob”.
