Andy was a good friend during our teens and early adult years. Gwen grew is from Newdale and I am from Strathclair. We all went to school in Winnipeg after high school and remained friends during this time. We also know your mom (Shirley) from those days. Gwen and I moved to Calgary but kept in touch with Andy, Fred and the two Shirleys. One summer we met in Prince Albert National Park and had a great time. This was before any of us had family. Once our families started to expand we lost touch but we never forget our old friends. Your dad was always a true gentleman and we always enjoyed his company. Please accept our heartfelt condolences at this time of grief. - Posted by: Allen & Gwen Holmes (Friends) on: Jul 23, 2014
