Geri Blake I’m so sorry for the loss of your father and a wonderful man. He was a great friend to many at Hycroft Arms, myself included. I enjoyed our dinner together at the James Bay Inn with all of you and my subsequent visit with Bill the following day. I’m sure his memory will live forever in the hearts and minds of all who knew and loved him.

Chris & Mark Conacher (Toronto) To Carol and Family,
Sandy was such a wonderful life-long friend to our Mother, Frances (Walker) Conacher and Father, Roy. His loyal friendship was never so much in evidence as during the last years of Mom’s life. While caring for Gloria, he still made time to look out for Mom, to extend his support, and to help her with her affairs. And he accomplished it all with his unparalleled sense of humour.
We are saddened, as we know the Cunninghams will be as well. If there is any consolation, it is that he and Uncle Gordon are also reunited and, no doubt, with Gloria’s forebearance.

we first came to Victoria 12 years ago. He told us all the great places to eat and
the theater’s we would enjoy. We enjoyed his company on many trips to Chemainus,
