Death notice for the town of: Sarnia, Province: Ontario
My condolences to the family. My wife Nancy (deceased) was related to Beulah. She played the piano at their wedding in 1956, and Bob ushered at our wedding in Windsor in 1957. We enjoyed many get togethers over the years in Windsor , Sarnia, Michigan, and Florida. Many delicious meals – some home cooked, some in restaurants. Many fond memories. .Ross Haight, Northviille Mich
