My thoughts and most sincere sympathies are extended to all family members and friends. A great guy, very knowledgable of his community. And how could you forget him on the ball field. A stalwart behind the plate. Whether a team mate or not, he was well respected on the field and off. Gord has a spot reserved for you. RIP bud.
