Even after slowing down, farming was always a topic of choice.
On January 10, 1942, Ab married Mary McTavish and together they first farmed in the Fairlight area and then later moved to the Woodlands District.
Both Ab and Mary were very hard workers. Everything well looked after. Family, garden, crops, animals. Never neglected!
Ab enjoyed sports and participated in baseball, hockey, curling and Pony Club events.
Ab was predeceased by his parents, all his siblings and all Mary’s siblings.
He leaves to mourn his daughter Marilyn (Ken) Bennie; son Eddie (Kathy); grandson Troy Bennie (Cathy Rouse).
