Death notice for the town of: YARMOUTH, Province: Nova Scotia
Madeline, I just learned of Howard’s passing. As you know he and I were the best of friends while we worked together at Labrador City. I believe the last time I saw him and you were when you were living at Bathurst, New Brunswick. I have often wondered and thought of him and you fondly. To you and your family, please accept our condolences, we hope that Howard’s memories will help ease the pain and get you all through this most difficult time.
