Sorry for your loss. Remember working as a cadet in the early 1970´s with your Dad who was assigned to the Youth Aid Bureau. You guys had left the farm and the point and moved to the acres. Lot of memories. Cherish them. Doug

Gail I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I have great memories of him from as far back as I can remember. I think I was at your house as much as my own. Later when I was working at Springdale Mall, he would come in for coffee when he worked the holiday OT. Always nice, funny and asking after my family. Remembering him with much love and wishing you the strength you need to carry on.
Love you.
