Dear Gordy:

I can remember your father coming to all your hockey games.

I played tennis at the West Island with your Dad. I never beat him once. I came close but he just would,nt give up.

He was a good man.

Alf has lived a long happy life and he enjoyed it from sinking the winning put, to making a grand slam in bridge.
But greatest joy was having his family around him and his lovely Mary at his side.

Please accept our condolences. We knew Alf through my brother Bob Chouinard and his wife Mona. We had the pleasure to be with Alf several times while visiting in Beaconsfield. We enjoyed his sunny nature and lovely personality. We will remember you all in our prayers.
