Sending my sympathies on the passing of Elwyn. I remember Lisa and Laura telling endearing stories of their grandparents back in the days of piano lessons. I'm thinking of you all.

So sorry to hear the passing of Elwyn, as a youth I was always at their house, with Elwyn and Lyla treating me as family. Elwyn taught me how to do a wrist shot in hockey, and was always kind and a role model for me. My deepest condolences to Lyla, Dennis, Steve and Susan for your loss. Unfortunately I was out of the province during the visitation, but my thought are with you during this tough time. Elwyn enjoyed a long rich life, with a great family.
