    Sending our love and sympathy to you Shirley and family. I have fond memories of Elwood. One was a time as a teenager that I was staying overnight at Uncle Elwood and Aunt Margaret’s home and Elwood drove Paul and I to the Bend where we enjoyed a Pizza. Another is visiting Fanshawe College with Elwood, Margaret and Gary many years ago. Elwood was someone that was easy to have a conversation with and was interested in what you are doing. We also had a common musical interest. Our condolences, David & Rebecca Rundle
