To Peter & Susan and the Kurlek family.
So sorry to hear of the lost of your father. He was often in the audience when our kids put on a Christmas pageant.I’m glad he had time in Bayfield close to all of you.

We’d like to offer our sincere condolences to all of the family in the loss of Charlie. We only had the chance of meeting him once on a visit with brother Jim, but his tremendous joie de vivre and great sense of humour remain with us today. He really treasured his cooking experiences and covered lots of ground. We’re sorry we never got to enjoy any of his classic dishes.
May he continue to smile upon us from his new resting place!
Linda, Cathy and Margie White
We were very sorry to hear of your loss. Charlie (and all of you) have been great friends of our family from our times as neighbours in Toronto until more recent years on the shores of Lake Huron. One special memory is when Charlie and Don took โthe girlsโ to the CNE to see Sonny & Cher! Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time and we hope to see you next summer.
