Although I had the privilege of meeting him only once, I feel fortunate to have had that opportunity. Through my close relationship with his son and his family, I have come to appreciate the man he was—a man of strong character, deep faith, and unwavering values. His faith, integrity, and dedication helped shape not only his family, but also the business legacy he and his family built. I have the greatest respect for what he created and for the values that continue to guide those who carry that legacy forward. Along with our sons Nate and Owen, we are honoured to work alongside his family and to play even a small part in that journey. While I knew him only briefly, his legacy is something I have come to know through the people he loved and the example he left behind. With great respect, I honour his memory and the lasting legacy he built.
