Condolences
Dearest Jo,Rob,Joelle,Jenna,Tim, Peter and families,
I’m so so terribly sorry to read of the passing of your dear Dad/Grandpa. I have so many fond memories many years ago of your Dad (and Mom) when they lived across the alley from you.
He was a quiet lovely man and I’m sure he will be greeting your Mom Joan with her favorite tulips.
My sincerest condolences to all of you.

I did not know Edwin, he was 2 years older than I, but I certainly knew about the Singbeil family since my father was the Imperial Lumber Yard agent at Mossbank in the 1930s and 1940s, and his yard would have supplied the Singbeil's with much needed coal during the winter months.
Edwin and I would have shared similar memories of growing up during the Great Depression in southern Saskatchewan: the grasshoppers and the dust storms. An excellent news article in the National Post (page FP10) Friday September 3rd shows a dust cloud hundreds of feet high descending on a pioneer settlement. A similar dust cloud demolished the under construction Mossbank Community Hall in 1946. Yes, it was often not just the Dirty Thirties: it was the Dirty Forties as well.
Sorry for your loss of a good man.
