Our condolences to our western cousins on the passing of your dad. We have great memories of your dad. Gerry remembers playing horseshoes with your dad at Jim and Marie’s. One story I remember is Uncle Dick picking blueberries for Auntie Dee and I when we visited in 2006. You were blessed so have so many wonderful years with your dad.

We want to extend our sincere sympathy to the McNamara family on the death of their father Dick. He became a special friend to us during our ten year stay in Kirkland Lake. We remember many fun bonspiels played with the K of C members. Our belated sympathy too in death of their mother Marguerite. We were not aware of her passing. She too was a close friend. God Bless.

Peter, Marie and McNamara family, please accept our sympathies. I first met your father 30 some years ago at Northern Canada Sales when buying supplies to sink the deep Macassa shaft. He was a gentle giant amongst men and truly a nice guy.

John, Peter and Marie, I send my love and condolences at the loss of a wonderful gentleman. KL has lost a piece of the heart that formed it. John, I tried to email and it bounced back and I text but I don’t know if it was the right number. So, please know that you are in my thoughts. Lynn.

Mr. McNamara was a very special neighbour to us for many years along with Mrs. McNamara. They were both so special to our kids, Christopher and Abbey growing up as well. Mr. McNamara was a very kind and soft-spoken man and he will always hold a special place in our hearts. With Love, Paul, Marjorie, Christopher, Abbey, and his furry pals, Harley and Daisy. xoxoxoxo
