What I remember best about Papa, was when he spent time in Winnipeg in the mid 80's when I was a little boy, I couldn't been more than 9 or 10 years old. It was something that we did regularly while he was there. He really enjoyed walking and he would take me down to the Red River where he would sing to me and play the guitar, I would try to attempt to skip rocks, which I was not the best at at that age. These are moments that I will always cherish because they made me feel real special as a little boy to spend time like that with such a great man. You will be missed but not forgotten.
