Dear Shirley, Jenna, Molly, Cathy, Susan, Tim, Dawn, Diane, Kevin and families,
My deepest sympathies to all of you. Finding it hard to believe my best friend, Mike, passed away. We had close to 50 years of friendship and lots of memories. One that comes to mind is the Gimme 3 Pub where Mike and I enjoyed hours and hours of music and beer. Even now a certain song will come on the radio and it brings me back to those days in his basement. Another is of Mike raiding the closets of his brothers and sisters for clothes to wear for a night on the town. He was always so particular about what he wore. All through the years we kept in touch with each other spending hours on the phone laughing and chatting about life and its challenges. He always cared about what was going on in my life and I enjoyed hearing about his. When he had a health scare recently his biggest concern wasn’t his health and mortality, it was his girls. Molly and Jenna were his top priority and they filled him with pride and joy. My wife and I promised him we’d visit next time we were in Nova Scotia and were hoping it would be this year, but I guess that will have to wait until we see each other on the other side. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
John (and Linda) Walker
