My deepest condolences to the family. Metro was a good friend when he taught school in Roblin. He visited at our home many times while in Roblin. It was a shock to see he had passed away. Treasure your memories of him. Helen Shafransky - Posted by: Helen Shafransky (Friend) on: Sep 17, 2016

Metro was someone that I am proud to have known. Courage and humour, kind, gentle and a down to earth person. My sympathy and condolences to the family. So sorry I missed the memorial. - Posted by: Elsie Guluwaty LeBlanc (cousin) on: Sep 17, 2016
