As an active servant of God, he was also involved in other church communities. He will always be remembered as a humble and hard-working man, for his great love of nature, the value of friendship and his passion for his family.The family will receive friends for a time of visitation at the Brock & Visser Funeral Home, 845 Devonshire Ave., Woodstock, 519-539-0004 on Wednesday April 23, 2014 from 2-4 & 7-9pm.

Percy had a dream to provide fresh, clean water to communities in underdeveloped countries.
