Daryl and I first met at a Gay bar in Winnipeg, we were strangers until I started talking about visiting my Grandmother Iin Selkirk. I think I mentioned her name “Elsie” and the discovery was made, we were second cousins. A small world indeed. We became close friends after that. I didn’t have a lot of friends at the time and he introduced me to his circle of friends and family. Several friendships and relationships were made and I am very grateful for that. We both loved going to Patricia beach with friends, I had so much fun that I didn’t mind the sand in my sandwiches. He taught me a lot about cooking, for example “ never use a fork when cooking steak”, and to remove the shells when eating shrimp. He wasn’t picky, he would make a gourmet meal one day, then have Kraft dinner the next. “Presentation is everything “ was his motto. We’d have long chats on the phone in the winter months when it was too cold to go out, we could talk for hours. Too many good memories to mention. We had our ups and downs as you do with family and friends, but mostly ups. I was so happy and envious that he was able to retire a short time ago. We both looked forward to him visiting me in Toronto. I thought of him as more of a friend than family, I will miss him dearly.
