Charlie was a great mentor of my father's. Dad spoke highly of him and even though they did not always agree they had great respect for one another. My father took over Charlie's position upon his retirement. Family of Ron McLean - Posted by: Shannon McLean-Geletchuk (Father was a friend/student/coworker of Charlie's) on: Oct 02, 2026

Janet, I played with you years ago when you lived on 8th Street across the road from my grandmother, Mrs Hall. I remember your Dad being a good neighbour of my grandma's. I have thought of you over the years. My thoughts are with you at this time. My Dad passed in 1990 and Mom more recently in 2024. - Posted by: Catharine (Souliere) Dunlop (childhood frient) on: Sep 30, 2026
