I was borne in 1932 and until 1952 when I moved to Alberta "Bunt" was like an older brother I never had. He was a good guy and Trene I'm sure you have had a wonderful life together. A solid citizen. In the early days I recall helping him load some truck loads of sand by shovel. Great Memories. - Posted by: David R. McDonalsd (Growing up as close neighbor, (1/2 mile).) on: Jun 30, 2012
