It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my dear uncle Leo Spence of L’Isle -Aux-Allumettes, Que. He was the beloved husband of the late (Mary Hymes). He was the last living sibling of my mother’s family. Uncle Leo and aunt Mary had moved to St. Andrew’s West, near Cornwall, Ont. years ago for employment. Our families were very close. He would always say, “We are going up home for the weekend.” His heart lead him back to retire on the island. He always kept going despite the tragic loss of his two children Brenda and Patrick. I will miss his Irish wit, laughter and kindness. He loved a good game of euchre. Our heartfelt sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with Shirley, Danny, Donna and family. May you rest in peace Uncle Leo.

Wow, that was quite the snowfall we received on Wednesday night and Thursday. It took Larry six hours to clear our driveway and yard. At least we did not get the rain that they got down by the seaway area.
On Saturday evening, Charlie Ethier held his annual fish fry in his garage. Several family and friends from Waltham and the area gathered to socialize, reminisce and enjoy a snack of fish.
