Melba Holm
To all of Algar’s family:
So very sorry to hear of Algar’s passing. While dad, (Edson Johnson) was in QGH, Algar visited him there and they spent quite a number of hours reminiscing about bygone days and family history. It gave dad some happy hours with him as they laughed together at the memories they shared. I met Algar at dad’s service and we had some time together then.
My condolences to all of Algar’s family at this very sad time.
