To John And all Tony's family:
Dear John: Reading of Tony's passing recalls a lot of great memories about Tony and your dear mother from the early 60's and since.Pictou county has lost a wonderful 'adopted' son who lived a great long life and leave all of you with great memories to share and laugh and cry in retelling and keeping his memory 'alive'..One story I'm sure you have heard is about the Kinsmen Goat that our New Glasgow Kinsmen took possession of in an inter club fellowship venture,when you lived on Fraser's Mountain.When I landed home late one evening with the Goat and perplexed as to what to do with it...recalling Tony and the farm called the house and your father was out at choir practice I think and your mother said "Sure Jack bring it up and we will put him in the barn for you...well,she forgot to tell Tony,but when he got up early in the morning to milk the cows,the goat decided to take off after Tony ,much to his surprise,and 'bunt him off the milk stool'..across the road he ran to ask your mother where the darn goat came from,she told him I brought him there to board him until we moved him along to another unsuspecting Kinsmen club...Tony and your mother and I shared many good belly laughs about that over the years..with these thoughts in mind send along sympathy and condolences to you and all the family..
Sincerely,
JackMacIsaac
