To Heather, Ross & families

We are sorry to hear of your father's passing
He was a fellow "Islander" with a great sense of community spirit.
He had a great affinity for our Scotiabank Retirees group and could always be counted on for his support and guidance.
We will miss him sorrowfully.
Our deepest condolences to you and your families.
