He can bike, he can hike, he can ski…of course he can, he’s Papy! Happiest retirement wishes to the Best Papa Ever. We feel spoiled every time we get to spend time with you.
Almost all my favourite memories are of shared outdoor adventures: swimming in glacial rivers, the ocean and lakes, the Vancouver cycle tour of bakeries, hiking in the mountains, hiking in the desert, xc skiing in le Parc de la Gatineau while pulling your grandkids in the chariot, camping in the prairies, driving me to Manitoba (twice! and camping along the way) when I moved away to university. You driving avec Maman from Vancouver to Winnipeg to come surprise Devin and I and join us on the 4 day Mantario hike! Driving avec Maman to Bishop to climb with us for a week. Playing your violin at night and listening to it as we went to bed. And then learning to play and getting to play our violins together. So many cool experiences, your love and passion for these activities is contagious!
Félicitations Papa. You’ve worked hard for a long time and I can’t wait to hear of (and participate in) all the new and exciting adventures to come! Je t’aime!
