Sorry for your loss, sending our deepest condolences to the families. David & I want to say Maurice was the first neighbour in Grand Marais to stop by many a times to have a chat & share stories & help us out with great advice at the Old lumberyard. We really enjoyed his company. - Posted by: David & Helen Draper ( nieghbours) on: Aug 28, 2015

Spent many good days with Maurice & his great dog, Tokla. Met him in 1982 when I first moved in to Grand Marais and became friends right away. He was always there and very sad to see him gone. - Posted by: jim emmonds (friend) on: Aug 13, 2015
