Born close to each other in Winnipeg, Schooled together and went separate ways as we matured. I tried so often to track you down and finally succeeded only by seeing your demise on the internet. Subsequently wrote to Marg but she had moved. Always true to your maverick image, Your funeral was on my birthday. God bless you my friend. I really miss you. - Posted by: Geo Dodsworth (From childhood to eternity) on: Oct 17, 2013
