Cancer has won. Just a quick note to all who put up with my foolishness and accepted me as who I was. English humour is not that humourous all the time, but it was in me, and I had to share it eh…Susan and I shared many a good time and Sue never stopped pleasing me…She bought a Cadillac of a pontoon boat just knowing I would be a proud Captain cruising around Upper Island Lake. And for family, we are strong and carry on with hope in our Hearts ONE DAY AT A TIME. Bottom line…It's been a blast, and nobody got hurt.
Later eh... - P. Des Snooks
