To Agnes and family, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Pepere. I have many great memories of him at the lake. He was such a kind and funny man and I enjoyed spending time with him. I will never forget his “Métis magic” that he added to the fire. My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. - Posted by: Gillian Adair (Family Friend) on: Apr 08, 2019
