Dear Papa: Not a week has passed where you aren't in my dreams, and my flash backs. It's hard to believe it's been so long since we lost you! So many things have happened that when they do I think of what It would have been if you were here! The face you would have the made, the joke you would have cracked! But most of all the love you would have shown! I miss your love, your hugs, your smiles more than anything. We spent so much time together you were so close to me and I miss that so much! I have had a daughter, she is 4.5 years old and reminds me of you often... especially when watching TV!! I wish you could have met her so much! You and Grandma would have 5 great-grandchildren! and one grandchild! We all wish you were here to meet them but we know you're looking down on them! I have so much I want to say to you... but in the end I know you hear everything I say to you all the time... my heart is still missing pieces! and memories fade! but I never want to ever forget you... Love you papa - Posted by: Jessica (Grandaughter ) on: Dec 11, 2014

It was with great sadness that we heard of the passing of our good friend Kenny. I was lucky enough to have known Kenny for at least 65 years and attended George V school from grade 2 with him and spent many good times in his company along with other friends Al Chitty, Davie George, Bill Bottle. We were in Winnipeg last summer and we spent an evening out with him for drinks and dinner. Ken was a good friend and couldn't do enough for his friends. He will be sadly missed by everyone that new him. - Posted by: Lorne (Corky) Baker (Friend) on: Jun 21, 2007
