Hi Jim,
While you served, did you know Frank Walton from the Pointe?
Hi Al , Yes , frankie and I were good friends, used to visit his house on Charron Street in the Point, His sister married one of my best friends Ralph McNiff , who was a fantastic hockey player, Ralph Backstrom used to live with McNiff on 3rd avenue when they were playing Junior Hockey ,I believe Ralph McNiff passed away in Forida last year, have not heard from Frankie since my navy days , Jimmy
Hi Jim,
Frankie is my cousin. His mom (my Aunt Ethel)& mine were sisters. Aunt Ethel passed away a few weeks back, unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it up to Toronto. Frank and his wife Faye lived in the Barrie area while he worked in Toronto for CNCP TeleCom. Wilma and Ralph lived in Oakville. You are right, Ralph passed away while on vacation in Florida.
Small world isn't it!
