He was an avid soccer player and played for the U18 Boys team for Scotland – his commitment to hard work was indisputable; he thrived on always giving his best to his family and life as a whole.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Rena; his three daughters, Karin Lindberg (Eric), Susan Oswald (Scott), and Wendy Daughtrey (Bill); his eight grandchildren, Erin and Brooke Lindberg, Tommy, Jimmy and Leah Daughtrey, Ryan, Alex and Cate Oswald; his sister-in-law Linda Whyte; his two sisters, Helen Fairbairn and Jan McLean; five nieces and nephews, Eleanor Robertson, David, Greg and Euan McLean, and Lynsey Fairbairn.
He will always be remembered for his amazing ability to make everyone feel so comfortable when around him; he engaged everyone and always had a story to share, always with a funny twist. We will all continue to remember him, and he will forever be with us.
