He is a Second World War veteran, who was part of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

The biggest part of the celebration included a special flyby on Saturday by a Hercules aircraft from Squadron 435 in Winnipeg.
The plane did three separate flybys, dropping streamers, and even a parachute with a birthday cake.
“I belonged to 435 squadron in wartime and it’s still operational … It was perfect, I didn’t think anybody would do such a thing for me,” Couch said.
Lucky Lake is approximately 145 kilometres south of Saskatoon.
