Dear Sherry, Jennifer, Walter & families,
We are so sorry to hear that Adolf passed away. He always had a kind smile, and special chuckle for you. He will be missed. I am so sorry we never had that chance to go bowling, at the drop in league in Osoyoos, although we bowled in many Interior Playoffs, and in leagues together.
