Maureen, after talking to you, I checked online obituary again. Since it was not in, I phoned Thompsons and they corrected it.
Your dad was quite a fisherman and camper. Joe and I camped at Woodbury for a couple days a year and always looked up your parents down by the lake. They were always gracious and welcoming. Your dad took Joe out on his boat but had no luck fishing except he enjoyed the outing..
Freda Dowes and I were at Lakeside Park last summer when Ian and dad were out for a walk. They stopped and sat on the bench with us and caught up on memories.
May he Rest in Peace.
Josephine
