    2013 was a hard year for Dad as he had several health problems. It is with many heartfelt thanks and more gratitude than anyone can express to the staff of the Winnipeg Paramedics and Winnipeg Fire Department, also the doctors and staff at the Grace Hospital for all their efforts and wonderful care our Dad received in his last hours of life and throughout this whole year. The family would like to say thank you, for without your efforts he would not have made it this far.
