Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

  • Larry and I worked together for six years in the '80s at Lord Nelson School. He was teaching grade five and I was next door teaching grade six. He was a great friend as well as colleague. We kept in touch when he was teaching at Meadows West School and I was teaching at Shaughnessy Park. My last contact was when we was substituting as I was for a time when I retired in 2004. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to the family. - Posted by: Colin Stark (Colleague teacher at Lord Nelson School) on: Jul 15, 2019
