"I believe a man's greatest possession is his dignity and that no calling bestows this more abundantly than farming. I believe hard work and honest sweat are the building blocks of a person's character. I believe that farming, despite its hardships and disappointments, is the most honest and honorable way a man can spend his days on earth."
Besides his loving wife Dorothy, he is survived by his two children Evelyn (Brian) Conrad and Ron (Margaret) Iskov all of Taber and two grandsons Brett and Jordan Conrad.
