He also leaves behind, Grandsons Brandon, Teddy, Adrian, Lowell Jr., Connor, Addison, Jesse and Granddaughters April and Jade, as well as numerous Great Grandchildren. He was loved by all. Born June 19, 1933 in Pelly Saskatchewan, Dad moved to Toronto as a young man and married Mom, Doris Elaine Harris. Together they raised four kids. Dad worked very hard and saved and earned all we had. Our family values were basic and went to the core of understanding of what it took to give the next generation what it needed to survive and succeed - honestly and honourably. Thank you isn't enough, but that's all we can say and only hope to pass the skills forward, and share life with everyone with respect, honour, happiness and joy. Father's Day and Mother's Day are not for us to share with our parents anymore, but the best memories and the warmest thoughts fill our hearts and minds with the joy of life. We love you, Dad. Thanks for watching over us always. Love, Cheryl, Rob, Scott and Lowell. All of your grandkids and great-grandkids will benefit from what you have done with your life and what you have done for your family. Love forever. A private family only burial will occur at a later date.
