He quit school after grade 9 to help on the family farm, suffered from a physical disability due to polio since childhood, endured a broken neck in a car accident, had his family destroyed by the inflation of the 70's and never once complained.
He bought me my first computer in the mid 80's and told me that it was the future. I know he would have been a Bitcoiner. He was always willing to help, and gave me my work ethic of an honest days work for an honest days pay. His best advice was this. "If you don't enjoy your job, quit. You'll be miserable from the moment you get out of bed until you get home. Go find something you want to do".
His passing on Easter Saturday long ago when I was a young man is my reminder of a life well lived with dignity, respect and love. RIP dad.
