Ewa and family; We remember him as a hard working, wise, respectable man who always enjoyed a good laugh. Memories of first meeting you at the campfire in the Lion's Head Campground and early 14 McNeil days came flooding back when we heard of his passing. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. John, Molly and family
