• Val, Barb, Mike & all the family. So sorry to read Allan's obituary this morning. His achievements were extraordinary. He and the whole family were held in high esteem and the relationship which went back several decades was cherished by all, most especially by our late mother Mary. Always think of Barb (and all of you) on Mum's birthday. Heartfelt sympathies to all. Thom & Dorena Gillis Halifax - Posted by: Thom & Dorena Gillis (Family friend) on: Sep 15, 2012
