Hi Ellen, I am Gord Speirs’ sister and Mary’s daughter and I heard about your dad passing away. I just wanted to say, although I didn’t know your dad really well, I heard so many stories and I know what good friends Dad and Ken were and remembering hearing about their antics during the years – Circle K included. I am thinking of you and your whole family in this time of loss and I do know that the memories of those we love live forever in our hearts. Thinking of you all. Shelagh (Speirs) Stuart
