Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

  • On behalf of our family, my deepest condolences go out to Sigi's family on their heartbreaking loss of this kind and wonderful person. Sigi had a second family also, those many thousands of Inco's Thompson mining community, including myself and my family, who are today also grieving in memory of Sigi. He was at all times, to all people, a gentle man and a gentleman. Would that we all had his compassion, patience and love for his fellow man. The world is a much poorer place today without him. - Posted by: Barry Hadfield and family (Dear friend) on: Dec 24, 2015
