Our deepest sympathies to the Strutt family on the loss of Clare (Casey) on Saturday, August 11, 2018 at the age of 83 years. He was the husband of Joan (nee MacGarvie) for 53 years.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Long family on the loss of James on Saturday, at the age of 62 at the Elizabeth Bruyère Hospital in Ottawa. James was the son of the late Alfred and late Florence Long (Mosher). He was the brother of Pamela Findlay (John) of Barrie, Brian Long (Patricia) of Ottawa and Susan Yach (Ron) of Shawville. Jim is lovingly remembered by many nieces and nephews and his friends Lisa Bell, Frank Kovalyk and Morgan Adams. He is also fondly remembered by his many friends in the Ottawa Valley whom he met working for Valley Heritage Radio and as President of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame.
