I was doing some genealogy for my friend Ron Howe (grandson of Joseph and Ethel Howe of Glencoe Ontario). Ron told me a story of his cousin Joe Howe .. killed on a motor bike in Winnipeg .. Ron thought the other car driver [that hit him] was taking his (or her) driving test at the time. Ron said his cousin's Dad was Lawrence .... ..... and Ron asked if I could find the Winnipeg newspaper write-up about this accident ... that is when I found this obit for who I think is Joe's Dad ....
