Our deepest sympathy to the entire Williams family. We saw Lorne briefly on Christmas Day at the Manor. When we bought our first farm on the 8th line, the first visitors were Uncle Edgar, & Aunt Annie. (Lorne’s parents) Lorne’s father & my grandfather were brothers. Another cousin gone but not forgotten.
