Your father use to contact me every time he came down to Elora for the legion dances, I had not heard from him in a few years. Sorry for your loss. His mother Bertha was my mothers cousin.

My husband and Howard became good friends, accidentally meeting one day at Tim Hortons. And a 5 year friendship was born. He often stopped by our house in the summer for a visit, or just a phone call to see how we were doing! He really missed his little “Tiny”, he talked about him often! We had no idea that he had passed, and we are soo very sorry for your loss. We’re so happy that he had found such happiness in the last few months, you could tell how happy he was. Our sincere sympathy to your families. Howard will be missed.
