Whether it was travelling, visiting friends and family or just going for a drive around the farm looking at the wildlife, it was doing things together and enjoying tremendously. Avis passed away in 2002. His life changed tremendously and being alone, focused his time on driving out to the farm at least 2 times a day just checking to see how things were going. Up until a year ago he spent countless hours on his side by side and snowmobile. During the summer checking cows & fixing fence or trying to eliminate gophers with his 22.
