    Irene and family, sorry to hear of Bubs’ passing. Whether the ‘go-for guy’ when you were catering or “the site Inspector” when I was putting up the greenhouse or doing work around the store, Bubs always had time to chat, give advice and tell a story, but he always knew when it was time to go home because Irene had his food on. In a small town Ontario guys like him who knew everyone, their children, what was going on but had time to share a pint or chat are what made a Community’s legacy. A lot will of nice will be said about him but it would be great if some of the new “in the know” could learn from his simple leadership the grace of genuinely being engaged in life. Love to you Mrs C. our thoughts and prayers are with you.
