    Bonnie and I moved next door to the Bakers in Milton in the early 70th I was a young green RCMP officer and the party began. John and Joan along with friends Ed and Mildred made us feel at home. The Sat. night parties in the old Bakers body shop were special but we never got use to the smell of 100 Turr livers and hearts on a wood stove in the garage.. In the later years we would see each other at the Caribou games. So sorry Joan for your lose. Terry and Bonnie.
