Oh Muggsy! I'm going to miss you buddy, my neighbour at Pine Point for 30 plus years. You had a wonderful way of brightening up our campfires, fish frys and cocktail hours. I enjoyed our time swapping fishing, hunting and snowmobiling stories and they will forever be etched in my mind. You left too soon but you have no more struggle.
Our deepest heartfelt sympathies to Barb and family
