My dear brother
When I look at this picture I see that mischievous twinkle in your eye. Growing up, I always looked forward to your outlandish tales, quick-witted sense of humour and your love of teasing. Sometimes I was your co-conspirator, many times the recipient. We went through some good and bad times together, and many quiet times. Although we haven’t spent much time together lately, it was always a comfort to me just knowing you were there. I will miss you.

Al & I would like to express our sincere condolences to you Pat and all your family for your loss. Al was a lovely, gentle, kind man. We were happy to get to know you both. Love Brenda & Al your Rideau Acres Camping friends. So happy you had the chance to visit us at Charleston Lake.
