His tombstone says he awas born in 1893. There is a record of him crossing into the USA on February 19, 1926 (through Detroit), that says that he worked as a machinist, and was 5 foot 8, medium complexion with light brown hair and blue eyes. He was headed to Pontiac, Michigan, and noted that he was travelling alone, with his wife staying in Parry Sound. If I understand the Labor immigration card, he had already worked in Pontiac from September 1925 to Feb 1926 before applying for this. Time remaining in US was listed as “Perm”(anent).
