He was looking forward to his 100th birthday, but had a terrible fall on September 13 and spent his remaining days at the Selkirk Hospital. In 1940, Dad purchased his farm North of Tyndall and planted hundreds of trees for a shelter belt and farm yard. On June 11, 1942 Dad married Mary Chorney. They lived on the farm until mom got ill in 1995 and they moved to Selkirk, MB.
