He came to Transcona in 1925 where until quite recently he resided with his son, Mr. Phillip Petrie, 161 Melrose Ave. East. He was survived by three sons and two daughters, his wife having passed away some years ago. Funeral service was held in the Assumption Church with Rev. Father Paille officiating. Later the body was conveyed to the Transcona cemetery.
