I believe that Garth and I worked together at the Weston Area Swimming Pool in Toronto (Weston) Ontario, away back in 1958 or thereabouts. He was a lifeguard and I was a ticket taker. We worked there for the Summer and I never saw Garth again. He was a nice guy, a few years older than me. Just wondering if the deceased is the same person. Regardless, please accept my condolences on your loss. Ernest Banting - Posted by: Ernest Banting (Old friend) on: Sep 24, 2013
