Condolences
Allan and I are so saddened by Jim's death. He was a wonderful man, friend, and his association with the Streetsville Kinsman Club was a benefit to so many others, including Allan. He and Lorna helped us celebrate Allan's 75th birthday here in Southgate, a day that will be remembered forever. Our blessings to you, Lorna, and all your family. Eileen and Allan Tremills
