  17. Jeff Miller

    Condolences to all of the Colp Family! I have many “Memories” of Clyde! Too many to post here! I will share one! There might have been Rum involved! Subject “A” was convinced by Clyde that residents living where they lived should be able to set a trap! Subject “A” followed strict orders as to how to do this. (I hear Clyde supervised!) Subject “A” checked that trap and only brought back legal sized lobsters to share with Clyde. I hear it was 4 big ones! Subject “A” threw back 4 small lobsters. The mistake was telling Clyde that Subject “A” threw the small ones back! Clyde was a bit miffed and
    said” Did you think the fine would have been less?” We will all miss Clyde! He had his own language! A Great neighbour who fed “Belle” lobster when she would visit and I settled for his saurkraut. His handshake is like no other! He will be missed! I hope this one story brings a smile to the Colp Family!! Love you Guys! Hope I can get down! Jeff

    David, Louise, Debbie, Mitsy and Becky:
    Sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing.
    I’ve known your family since I was in Grade 8 travelling every afternoon on my bike with a friend of mine to visit a couple local girls.

    What I’ll miss the most is the annual visits since probably the late 70″s from your Dad to have his tax returns done. I loved the stories he told about his relationship with my Dad and all the great cars Dad sold him with the nylons and a “beverage” under the front seat.

    He was a great man and I hope your healing is easier knowing that.

    John & Karen
