Death notice for the town of: London, Province: Ontario
I worked with Iain at construction site of Pickering Nuclear Power Plant from November , 1968 to July , 1969. I had often wanted to reconnect with Iain to bring back the wonderful memories of the wonderful person that Iain was. I am so sorry that it will not be possible now. I cannot forget Iain playing guitar and singing ” me wine drinker ” when Barbara and Iain lived in Whitby. I still have some of Iain and Barbara’s letters that they wrote to me soon after I left Canada in 1969. I hope Barbara will remember me. Stuart of course was a little kid.
Barbara , please accept my heart felt condolences.
