The family would like to extend a special mention to dad’s nephew Ron Williams Jr. for the regular check ins and visits but especially for the loads of dry firewood to warm his uncles heart and body. Dad also wanted to thank Judy Lunam for all the delicious baked treats giving him something to look forward to on Thursday’s.

The family would also like to acknowledge the care dad received from his medical team, Susan Lacroix and Mike Limmerick. Thank you for always brightening dad’s day with your excellent care and home visits. Thank you to the staff, nurses, Charlene Meillo, and James (spiritual coordinator) on 2 East at the Lake of the Woods District Hospital for our support and care during dads last days. Thank you to Father Rudy for praying over dad and bringing peace to his family.
