Im so sorry to hear of Mr. Williams passing. I had just heard stories today that my mother told me about how Graham and his wife Bonnie helped sponsor my mom, Huong Vu, to Canada. It gave my mom a chance to build a better life for herself and have me, her daughter. Deepest condolences, and I only wish I could have met the amazing man and family that helped my mom so much when she first came to Canada.

It sad to hear of the passing of my old co-worker Taffy “The Fitter”. Have many good memories of Taffy over the years and gained a great amount of knowledge when I was an apprentice working with him in the shop at the Adam’s. He surely will be missed by many.

My deepest sympathies to Taffy’s family…. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Hi Graham. I’m off on french as you know. I heard the sad news of your Dad. My thoughts are with you my friend, with Veronique, the kids, and your Mom and family at this difficult time. I read about your Dad. Sounds like he was a great guy, great husband and a great Dad, with lots of varied talents and love of different things. Likely where you get it I’d say. Wonderful memories to have Graham. My best wishes to you. Carlos
