Dad always appreciated the "little things" in life; walking in the woods, riding in the boat, trouting up the shore, reading a good book, playing cards, chatting on the wharf and spending time with family and friends. He always knew that all those "little things" really were the "big important things" in life. You taught us so much Dad. We are truly grateful to have had you in our lives. We will always be "Your Girls". Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Ryan's Funeral Home, Bay Bulls. Visitation will take place on Thursday, December 8th from 7-9 pm and on Friday, December 9th from 2-9 pm. Mass of Christian Burial to take place from Immaculate Conception R.C.

In memory of our Dad and in the spirit of the upcoming season, donations to the Gathering Place or the Wiseman Centre would be very much appreciated.
