Elverta, Dean,and Dawn
Elverta, please accept my sincere condolence on the passing of your brother, McEwan, as you know we have known each other for over 70 years, and I had coffee with Dusty probably a year ago.
Dean, Dawn and family, I grew up in the same neighbourhood and went to the same schools, only Dusty was a few years ahead of me. Great guy
Sincere condolences to all of Dusty and Donna’s extended family, and to Elverta MacLachlan, his sister and our friend. Dusty, or Coon, as we also knew him, was Joe’s fellow classmate at Watford District High School(WDHS). Of course we also knew all his siblings, since they grew up just West of Watford and attended WDHS. Ionne(Douglas) & Joe Woodall, Lambeth,ON.
Dusty was a member of Carling Heights for a brief time last year. He was a founding member of the club 50 years ago and gave a lot to the community. Sincere sympathy to the family.
