Dianne & family, on behalf of Angus’s sisters and brother, we extend our deepest condolences to you and your family. Wils was more than a cousin
to Angus. They were more like brothers who shared a great love for their
Newfoundland home. They shared many laughs, jokes, reminisced their
childhood days living in NL. and shared many NL. traditional meals cooked
by Angus. We know Angus will miss him. May precious memories help you and your family at this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, God Bless.
Sisters: Christine (Gerry), Lynette (Wade); Vivian (Jack); Shirley (Lloyd);
Brother: Keith (Beverley) and famiiies.
