My sympathy to all the family on the loss of your dad/grandpa. I so enjoyed our times at the hospital- Edward (as I called him) always had a book with him and we shared our opinions on what he and I were reading, and many other topics. He was such a great-gentle man. I missed him when he moved to B.C. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Terry - Posted by: Terry (Volunteer at St. Boniface dialysis unit) on: Oct 05, 2019
