Death notice for the town of: Antigonish, Province: Nova Scotia
I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Ambrose. Ambrose worked for us for many, many years. When I first came into the business Ambrose was our best driver and he taught me many things when I was young. Not only was he our best driver, he was a great man that would do anything to help someone. When he decided to move back East, it was like a family member leaving.
He will be greatly missed.
