As well as nieces, nephews and great friends.

Dad and Mom were married September 10, 1955 and spent the first few years of married life on the MacDougall family farm before moving to Oakville. Dad lived in our family home until he was 91 enjoying the view of his garden and apple tree from his favorite seat in the porch.
