To Auntie Olga, Sandra, Betty, Marvin and families. Our condolences go out to you all. We have fond memories of Uncle Gerald especially on our many camping trips to Laurier Lake. Rob & Kevin will always remember him for his campfire stories and as they said, “his excited knee slaps”. May your tears of sorrow be dried in your towels of memories. We as sorry we will not be attending as Ron is recovering from Thursday’s foot surgery.
