from Grey County and land -use

April 25 at Centre Grey General
Hospital in Markdale following a
long illness.

early Walkerton settler and
maintained an interest in the Grey -
Bruce area. In 1954 he graduated
from the University of Toronto as an
electrical engineer and worked for
several Toronto -area companies. But
his ties to Grey -Bruce led him to buy
an Artemesia Township farm and he
moved there in 1974.
He raised Aberdeen Angus cattle
and was active in breed associations.
He joined the Artemesia Township
Federation of Agriculture and
eventually served as an OFA director.

landowners' rights group. He also
had a keen interest in history and
served as chair of the Grey -Bruce
Genealogical Society, a director of
