    Joy, Brian, Bruce and families, thinking of you all at this very difficult time. Your father was a lifetime friend and there are so many fond memories we will treasure of our days in Trouty and the “scuffs” had. Woodrow often told many stories of Joy and there was always a smile and laugh with each of them. May he Rest In Peace.

    Thinking of all the family of this loving man of faith. I extend my sincere condolences and pray that God’s never failing mercy and grace be poured upon you in your time of need. I remember “Joy” .. his nickname aptly describes him whenever in his presence. ….many years throughout my life. Take comfort knowing he lived life to the fullest and with that joy in his heart. Love and blessing to you all. “May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, to the mercy of God, Rest In Peace. Amen.”

    We are so saddened to hear of Gi’s passing and extend to his entire family our sincere sympathy. We both considered Gi a good friend and loved nothing more than our involvement through church activities or with a visit. We will treasure our memories and I’m sure yours will bring you some smiles throughout your grief in the day ahead. May he Rest In Peace and Rise to Glory. You are singing with the Angels now, dear Gi!

    I’d like to send my condolences to the family on the loss of your father, father-in-law and grandfather. I remember the many times before he moved to the Clarenville area that Gi came into the cabin for a drink/visit with dad. I know that dad always appreciated it.
