Oa was a good friend to our family, he was a funny thoughtful person and he will be missed. He was quick to share his Finnish books with my father, and visited Kenora as often as he could. He loved crayfish at the lake, we have a great picture of him with a big plate of them. Our deepest condolences to all of the Lindstrom family.
