I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband, father, grandfather, and a wonderful cousin that was very kind to me during my time in Manitouwadge. The moments and times we shared at camp 70, building our homes, remembering hauling back a tractor from Saskatchewan, family get-together s will never be forgotten.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and condolences along with our prayers to your family.
