Kathy and Malcolm. What an amazing age your dad lived to. And no doubt an amazing life lived. A sad time for you and your family, but also a joyous time to come together and celebrate! Sending our love.

Saddened to see Jack's notice in the paper Darryl. Can still see him in my mind's eye, striding across the crossroads in Kaponga. I recall good conversation regarding things mountain and ecology. 101 years is a wonderful milestone, but it is now time- the first snows are falling, and now he walks through the natural spaces of the great outdoors he would have loved so much. My condolences to you and yours.
