  • Nestor kept "Timmy's" alive with his happy smile and boistrous laugh. It will never be the same. I met Nestor at the Manitoba camera club and we did a photography workshop in Churchill with other members. He enjoyed photography, his friends, and his family. He brought life into the room when he entered, and he will be sadly missed. We just got back from holidays and my last words with him were at Timmy's where he gathered with his friends. May God comfort his family and his friends. - Posted by: Jane and Terry Jacobson (friends) on: Aug 27, 2012
