Our sincere condolences to Angenora and other family members at this time.
I (Robin) have may fond memories of my association with Pat during our time with the Naval Reserve.
There were the weekly training evenings at the “old” HMCS Chippawa, and military exercises in Victoria and Halifax.
Also many years of curling with the Chippawa curling league, and attending Canmidwest bonspiels at other western divisions.
Now she has crossed the bar.
