Dear Anne, Janet, Forbes Jr & Hazel ... Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I have great memories of the friendship our parents shared and there was a well-worn path between our backyards. (Anne is that path still there ?) May your sorrow be replaced in time with all the great memories you all share. Thinking of you, your (former) backyard Lakeburn/Patch neighbour, Betti Jane Graham (Vancouver Island, B.C.)

My deepest sympathies to Anne, Janet, Forbes and Hazel on the loss of your dad. Forbes, Sr set me up on my first dirt bike (the old KD 100) and spent many times going up and down the Woodhurst and Rabbit Road. Thank you, Mr. MacDonald, for the wonderful memories.

Fond memories of Forbes and escapades in his father's Model A as we hit country dances in pursuit of young ladies. It was through Forbes and Evie I met my wife and we are still together 65 years later. Rest in peace old friend.

Thank you, Leigh. It is nice to hear stories of Dad when he was young having fun and to be part of a wonderful introduction of a marriage of a loving couple still going strong. To many more.

So very sorry to hear of Forbes' passing. His mother Mabel, and my grandmother Pauline MacLeod were best friends. I saw Forbes out and about on my daily trips to work at NRHS. Condolences to the family.

Thank you for your condolences, Marie. Janet and I remember Grammie talking about Pauline, they were very good friends and so involved in the church and community. Must be where Dad got his involvement from. <3
