We have lived next door to the Gatin's for about 27 years. They were great neighbours to have and will be truly missed. Rest in peace :) - Posted by: Denise Okun (Neighbour) on: May 05, 2016

I have known Mo and his family for over 20 years. He was always willing to share his extensive knowledge of the Canadian grain industry with anyone wanting to learn. Mo treated everyone in the same way, with respect and courtesy, coupled with an unmistakable laugh. It was always a pleasure to see Mo and converse with him, regardless of where or when we met. He will be missed. Condolences to Sean and Kimberly, Dean and Cathy, and to Mo's granddaughters. - Posted by: Floyd Howard (Friend, Co-worker) on: May 04, 2016
