Harold Allen, a longtime resident of Devlin, passed away last week. He had experienced health problems over the last while that had been very difficult for him and all his family and friends.
I remember when Harold worked at Rainycrest Home for the Aged in Fort Frances many years ago–he always had a smile on his face and was full of energy (plus he loved to tease).
I’ll also never forget how he and his wife, Millie, gracefully danced across the Emo Legion dance floor.
Harold had lived many good years enjoying life to its fullest, and he will never be forgotten. I extend sincere sympathy to all his family and friends.

Robin’s 2¢:
What men say: “I don’t need to read the instructions.”
What it really means: “I am perfectly capable of screwing it up without printed help.”
