I will always remember Uncle Charlie's visits to Saskatchewan and always looked forward to them. He will be missed and always remembered and I hope that your memories of your dad will be a comfort to you during this difficult time. I will always cherish my last visit with him in March when I was in Winnipeg for Uncle Roland's funeral. He did remember who I was when I mentioned he always called me "cry baby" and I will hold that dear to me. I am so sorry I am unable to make it to Winnipeg tomorrow since I am unable to get away from work but my thoughts and prayers are with you all and send tons of love from the "Regina" bunch Love Lorraine Wolfe (nee Legare) - Posted by: Lorraine Wolfe (neice) on: Sep 16, 2012
