Adios, friend

It's been almost a week already since I got the e-mail from C. I just couldn't believe it. He just retired in August, and now he's gone.

John Duncan was a salesman for KASCO/Atlantic Service when I worked there in the 1990s. John called me just about every day while he was out on the route taking care of customers in western Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. We always had a good chuckle and John had lots of calls--we used to call them his fan club--of butchers and store owners from little towns like Ear Falls, Ontario, to managers of packing houses in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

I will miss him very much. My deepest condolences to his wife Donna and his family. His KASCO friends I know miss him, too.
