This is a sad loss. He will be missed. Even as a child I always enjoyed his sense of humour and pleasant demeanor and that never changed. I even remember attending his wedding as a child. Although I was young at the time, I still remember how gracious they were to me. Throughout my life, I looked forward to his visits to the west coast. It was a given that we would enjoy some fun banter about the weather differences between Winnipeg and Vancouver. In fact I'm smiling about it now even as I type this.
