Bev and Bruce Martin (Friends)

Entered August 19, 2016 from Haliburton, Ont.

When we joined the Haliburton Curling Club one of the first things we saw was a West Hill Hockey jacket (Bill). We spent most of our married life in West Hill and our four kids all played West Hill hockey at Heron Park. I eventually became President of the Curling Club and Bill was one of our best volunteers for any kind of a job. He was a good man.
