Lefty loved life, loved to fish, play golf and ride his Honda down to the farm. Most of all he loved his family and many friends.
A special thanks to those friends who supported him during his time with Alzheimer’s. Lefty and his family are so grateful to the staff at Garden Square for the love and devotion they gave him.
Preceded in death by: His parents and two brothers, Leonard and Harold.
