My late wife, Betty, and I met Abe and Mary in Palm Springs some 12 years ago. We became fast friends and socialized with them, both in Winnipeg and Palm Springs. We will miss the golf games and breakfasts. Abe, the ultimate gentleman will be thoroughly missed by all. - Posted by: Morris Lesyk (Friends ) on: Nov 13, 2023
