His great-granddaughter Kate (Cory and Darren) and future great-grandchildren

master of. Reg was predeceased by his parents Ernie and Edith, sisters Eunice

Reg began his Royal Canadian Legion association as Branch Secretary in 1947 and

served as TPGM of the Lodge of Perfection. He became a member of Khartum Temple

was most proud of his family. Goodbye Dad. Thanks for the memories. At Reg's

be interred in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Saskatoon after a family graveside
service. Gifts in memory may be made to the CNIB (cnib.ca) directed to Research.
