Graham and I have many fond memories of spending time with Mr. Anaka. He was always a loyal supporter of our ball teams when we came to Port Alberni. I mostly remember your Dad sitting back and chuckling at whatever craziness someone was up to.

Hold the many precious memories close to your heart and please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Your Dad was a great guy. Always had a smile on his face and got a good laugh out of everything and everybody around him. We have lots of good memories of your Papa over the years and are glad to say that we knew him. Our thoughts are with you all.
