Mitch and Jackie were longtime family friends. Our thoughts are with you all at this time. Mitch devoted a lot of his time with Niagara Falls Minor hockey always with a smile and time for a chat.
He also loved the horses. "Any hot tips" he would say to me each time we crossed paths. One of the best!
RIP Mitch.

So sorry to hear about your dad. I have known him for many years, as my husband, Ron Cloutier, worked at the Ford Plant with him and they also worked together in the Silver Stick Hockey tournament. I have many fond memories and he was a wonderful man.

Very saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. He was a great guy and always so nice to everyone. He will be missed. I only knew him for5 months but I feel blessed to have known him for that long. I loved hearing his stories about golf and we had so much fun talking about his indoor putting green. we were going to set it up in the hall so we could play against him. RIP Bill.

Very saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. We were new friends having met him while he lived at Portage Towers. He was always a happy, cheerful fellow, willing to stop and have a chat while heading out for a walk. He is fondly remembered by mutual friends who worked with him at the Ford plant and through the local hockey family. He will be remembered and missed by many.
