Dear Auntie Dorothy, Caroline, Sherry, Jeanette and families,
We were very saddened to hear about Uncle Allan’s passing. I think back to all the times you came to my parents, either with your tent trailer, the green camping van or in later years the mini van. Your parents came at least once or twice a year to visit my folks and later my Mom; that meant a lot to her. The were always up for adventure. Even later with the motor home and your Dad’s motorbike. He loved to tinker about and do any odd job you had to do. Out for walks and bicycle rides keeping busy. When I had children, he would take them for walks and bike rides too. I remember your folks showing us their square dances and loved being out together. Your Dad was so kind and gentle, funny and a witty sense of humour. I never saw him upset, he just rolled with the punches. Your folks also saw us through some tough times when my Dad was sick in Calgary and later when my husband was seriously injured. I know how important family was to him. He will be truly missed.
Melissa, Len, Megan and David Howe
