They had a wonderful marriage, the two were true soul mates. Heather was adventurous and a fantastic athlete, playing shortstop on the all-boys team in high school. She was an avid golfer winning numerous trophies and achieving two holes in one. At 16 years of age she flew in an open plane over Lake Ontario with Canada’s youngest woman aviator. Heather loved gardening, cultivating many beautiful roses, always with a four legged friend close by. Golf was for the summer months and Bridge with friends was for the winter months.
