    Dear Shirley, Scottie, Holly and families. I am very sorry for your loss. Myril was a big part of our lives. Having grown up across the street, we have so many wonderful memories that have influenced us. Loved listening to Myril playing the guitar, in particular around the fire while we sang and enjoyed the clams we had dug earlier in the day. And when your family got the school bus that was converted, we thought you were like the Partridge Family. We also knew when we saw the “Man Sleeping” sign, we were not to ring that doorbell. I really think he is playing his guitar and singing in heaven. Thinking of all of you with love and deepest condolences.

    Dear Shirley and family,
    Please except our condolences on the passing of a beloved family member, husband, father and grandfather. A man who never failed to make me laugh as a girl, especially when he occasionally visited dad, Mickey at our home. Myril had a love for a lot of the same things that dad had too, bowling and picking a guitar. I never knew the connection between Maureen and Honey, which now makes sense as they had the same sense of humour he had, sweethearts for sure. Shirley you are a lovely person and I am sure a wonderful wife, who will miss him dearly. Surround yourself with family and memories of your family times together, remembering the good times as a family. I am thinking of you, you had one of the most wonderful smiles and you never failed to speak to me, when you could get a word in. Norman Rafuse also extends his sympathy to the family as well. You are in our prayers and we pray time lessens the sadness and eventually you will look back and smile realizing that he is in a better place strumming while the angels sing along. May God surround your family with peace and blessings at this time. With deep sympathy, Bonnie Hartlen and Norman Rafuse.

    Myril had to be one of the most likeable guys ever. Always upbeat and positive and always ready for a conversation. I bowled with him for several years and I don’t think anyone had more fun than he did. A great guy who will be sadly missed. My condolences to Shirley, Holly, Scott and families.
