I first met Spook on March 25, 1963 at my first day a Carp. It seems we knew each other as the only place I did not follow him was to the Home Depot but I went there once to see him and visited with him at his home a few times. It has been a lifetime of journeys together and he will be remembered as a good friend.

Somewhere in the Big Rideau Lake is a trout wearing Spooks prescription glasses. Pam and I fondly recall the annual technical meeting at the cottage and his company. May you rest in piece my friend.
I worked with Spook many years. So sorry to hear of his passing - he was truly one of the good guys. My sincere condolences to Dorothy and family.
