Joanne and Family, I could not believe it when my sister told me Spike had passed away. I cherish wonderful memories of our fishing, hunting and sharing jokes. He was like a brother to me. Spike my dear friend, Rest In Peace and remember our special saying “keep your powder dry”, until we meet again in Heaven.
Joanne, you are in my prayers. It is unlikely I will be at the Graveside Service. I had a hip replacement in September and find it difficult to get around or stand for long.

Spike was a wonderful neighbour and friend. Our boys will deeply miss him and his friendly smile. One of our boys told me how much he would miss talking with him and how he was so knowledgeable on so many topics. (His words). He was so kind, caring, generous, humble and helpful. We are glad we were able to assist with some of you tree planting. Whenever we look at them it will bring a warm memory to mind. Our thoughts are with you Joanne and family!
