Pat also worked as a gas plant operator for 25 years which he was dedicated to. In October 2005, we moved into Lougheed, retiring from the farm and then Ken and Brenda took over the farming duties. Pat continued to work at the gas plant until the fall of 2016 when he retired. After a 4 month retirement he started driving feed truck for Killam Farm and Feed in between golf, cards, bowling, and curling. He loved sitting in the back yard as he loved all of the flowers.
