Death notice for the town of: Renfrew, Province: Ontario
A close friend while growing up in the small town of Cobden Ont, a good friend and confidant always up for an adventure and as mentioned earlier always a smile on his face. My deepest condolences to his wife Cathy and especially his brothers who I also knew Perry and Douglas but to all his immediate family and friends my thoughts and prayers go out to you at this difficult time. May he always rest in peace. My thoughts when I initially heard the news was shock and disbelief. I will always remember the great times we enjoyed together on our motorcycles and with other friends growing up. He was definitely one of a kind as a person and will be dearly missed.
