Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

  • Mr Rafnson was the best coach ever! He left an impact on my 10 year old self that is difficult to articulate as an adult. He knew how to encourage each player to get the best out of them. And when we lost the game, he was always there to cheer us up. My condolences to Randy, Sue, Rory and all the family. He was a good man. - Posted by: Lee Pammer (He was my baceball coach) on: Jan 28, 2017

  • I remember my uncle Scott as a all around happy man he always had a smile on his face and he was always happy to be around family and friends I got the pleasure of knowing my uncle since I was a little girl and had the joy of growing up with him by my side. The one thing I enjoyed doing with my uncle Scott was going to the family bbqs that was held at his sisters house. I will always keep all the memories we have close to my heart. My deepest sypithy goes out to the family and friends my thoughts and prayers are with everyone at this time - Posted by: tessa (family ) on: Jan 26, 2017
