Death notice for the town of: Trail, Province: Colombie britanique
I just learned of my cousin Willards passing and naturally shocked. We weren’t close as he moved to Trail and I moved to the US. I spoke to him a few years ago and then we went on with our lives. I used to visit the Yarbo farm and help with things like getting the cows in for milking, milked my first cow, helped get the wheat crop in and other kinds of work. I rolled my first cigarette using sears catalogue paper and went into town on Saturdays. I loved aunt Bertha’s cooking and learned how to make butter in a jar. Willard was always willing to show me the ropes. We had good times together. Our deepest condolences to his family.
