his life included his wife, Irene; his Harley Davidson; his guitars
and his love of animals, especially his beagle Toby. Heartfelt
thanks to everyone who helped make his wish of being home
throughout his ordeal, particularly, the Palliative Care Unit,
Glenna, and Dr. Horton; Home Care and the VON and especially
Pam Donoghue who got me through the last few days. Thank you
to neighbours, friends and relatives for your thoughtful kindness.
Bill and I would not have made it through the last few months if
not for the unwavering friendship of David Randall, who was with
us every step of the way - thank you. A service will be held
