Hey Moose, where do I begin. How about skating on the creeks in the Bay when we were about peewee age. Or finally getting to high school and playing football, hockey and baseball for coach Brown. Or dating the same girls at different times. Or moving to Clayton and coaching together for those many years. The early morning practices in Gananoque and the thousands of miles going to games everywhere we could. You touched a lot of young hearts Moose. It really doesn’t matter because being friends with you for over 70 years was an honor. We’ll meet up again I am sure. In the meantime, I’ll keep you in my heart, thoughts and prayers, love ya Scotty.
