October 10, 1937 - April 14, 2026

I have sailed off into the sunset! I settled on the Island 40 years ago, and spent 33 of them as the manager of Little Current Place, an elderly citizens’ residence, and managing non-profit and special needs housing. I was a founding member of the Little Current Yacht Club. I was also an active member of the Navy League Manitoulin, Royal Canadian Legion Br.177. I was a member of ANAVETS (Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada) Manitoulin Unit No.176. I was an active member of the Fish and Game Club. Humbly celebrated 40 year’s of sobriety, supported by my membership in the Little Current United Church. Time’s up...
